You are of course free to do what you wish, and I guess the risk/reward analysis points towards sending it for grading. However, as stated earlier the print flaws on the front are as troubling as those on the back, IMO. On both yours and the PSA 3, there is a print mark just off his bent knee, another crotch- high not quite half way to the right border, and a small white dot on his chin. More telling is the slight discoloration to the left of “Babe” that extends into the bottom of the photo– same for both cards. None of these are found on the PSA 1 example shown here:
