Maybe a 4(MK) if the typing created indents, 2(MK) if it caused creases.

Edit: Actually, after reading this "The card was part of the subscription, with each subscriber receiving their own example, which included their name printed on the back," I don't think PSA would give it a MK since the card was released by the manufacturer this way. Similar to the tobacco factory stamps on T51 Murad College Series, which they don't downgrade for.

History via July 1953 issue -

Honestly a bit strange to me as a "new" issue as while this magazine was very short lived, 5 months or so, it was advertised as Jackie Robinson as the editor. and a costly collectable per any previous sales for Jackie fans. This advert was well known for many years, Perhaps, the short lived run did cause few of these cards to be mailed?
