I believe you are looking at a 2. Rounded / fraying corners, centering of 90-10. Hard to tell if there are creases, and we do not know what the back looks like. Do a Google search of the PSA Grading Standards and SGC Grading Standards and that should give you a very good idea of what to expect if you decide to grade the card professionally. Also, take a ruler and make sure the card measures correctly for the issue. I would leave the card as is, and not grade it. Just my opinion though.

Lou's about right, maybe 2.5 without any significant creases.

Is that paper loss on the bat or glare from the scan/photo ?

Good catch. Comparing the card to others, that appears to be paper loss. This is a great card, no need to slab it. Just enjoy it.

Grading is subjective, just catch the one who is grading it having a good day
It's really hard to tell from the photo as its not extremely clear, but are we certain the card is authentic? The colors sure looks washed out.

A look at the backside might be revealing...
