Beautiful Card but PSA is tough on rounded corners
I say 3.5 Hope I’m wrong and you got a 4.

No way does that get a '4'. Not with the back corner looking like it does.

Didn’t see that corner. Maybe 2.5.

My guess is a PSA 2.5 with the emphasis PSA puts on corners. However, the grade doesn't matter with value here. With the centering and registration, I prefer that card to most of the PSA 4's I gave seen.

I love when I see vintage cards that are 7's that would be 5's on modern cards.

2.5. That folded up corner on the back hurts you, and the centering gives you the half point bump.

It probably should be a 4, but you have to drop at least a full grade off of your normal expectations these days, so I'll say it's a 2.5 or a 3.

With how tough grading has become and because I can't see if there are any wrinkles/creases, I wouldn't be surprised if that card graded a 1 to a 2.5.

I've seen some nice looking 1's, until you tilt it to show the crease.

For your sake, I am hoping a 3 or 4, but I will be surprised if it received either of those grades based on the cards condition.

With that being said, however, it could be one of those anomalies where the grader was in a good mood and you got a 4 to 5?

2.5

Half grade due to strong eye appeal.
