It depends on who specifically you get as a grader and what kind of day they are having. Also, based on limited experience, you might have a better shot with SGC than PSA. A couple of years ago I cracked a Stargell RC out of a PSA “A” holder that had very similar fading to your Rose above. I didn’t see anything wrong with it other than the fading and not great top-to-bottom centering so I sent it to SGC and it came back a 5 which I thought was generous given that I don’t really like faded cards. I also sent a faded Walter Payton RC to SGC maybe 3-4 years ago and it got a 4.5 which seemed right. In each case I felt like the fading cost me a full grade or so but coulda been worse.
