Regardless, it is a great looking card
You can find a 5 with that kind of centering. The "6" level is where the Clemente rookies start to get tougher. Centering on the card is REALLY tough at all but the highest (8+) grade levels and the 2.5 you showed is REALLY nicely centered. With todays grading standards it appears fairly graded given the "small" amount of paper loss on the back. If I were selling it, I would definitely be looking for a premium over a 2.5 for the centering.
