Condition report:

The cards are ungraded and exhibit mixed mid-grade condition typical for the 1977 set. Common wear includes rounded corners, edge wear, and varying centering. Card #1 Luke Skywalker is housed in a protective semi-rigid holder and shows visible signs of handling, including off-center alignment favoring the right, softened corners, and minor chipping along the right edge. The surface of Card #1 displays white wear spots and scuffs on the front, particularly in the upper right quadrant, and surface abrasion on the reverse center.
