PSA Ratings on Unglued Stickers

Hey guys,
So I fairly recently got back into the hobby, and I'm looking to get my hands on some early Pele stickers. However, some of these stickers were glued in albums in the past, and then unglued to sell on eBay (for example, https://www.ebay.ca/itm/1967-Sticker-Verlag-PELE-Sticker-Vintage-Brazil-Soccer-Card-RARE/193775589873?hash=item2d1decd9f1:g:P1UAAOSwzztfxri8).
I'm curious as how PSA would rate such a sticker. Would they grade it as Authentic since it's missing a lot of info on the back, or would they still be able to grade it PSA 1?
Thanks!

some say psa 2 at best. most likely psa 1 at best being pele.
Should top out at a 1
Yaz Master Set
#1 Gino Cappelletti master set
#1 John Hannah master set
Also collecting Andre Tippett, Patriots Greats' RCs, Dwight Evans, 1964 Venezuelan Topps, 1974 Topps Red Sox
I’ve been flirting with some early soccer stickers, too. Others are right...ones with back damage from album removal generally top out at PSA 1. Some still command one heck of a price tag, though. Pele’s 1958 Alifabolaget, for example, goes for $15,000 in PSA 1. The most recent raw sale (with back damage) was nearly $12,000, if I recall correctly.
Good luck and enjoy!
I sub a lot of soccer cards, a lot of cards removed from albums, and a lot of soccer cards removed from albums
Here is the grading criteria for cards removed from albums:
Authentic = cards that are "skinned" from their back;
Either a Poor 1 or Authentic if there is paper loss on back, depending on the degree of loss;
Fair 1.5 if there is album page residue on the back but no paper loss; and,
Good 2 if there is glue/adhesive staining, but no paper loss and no paper residue still stuck from the album page
