worth grading this E. Murray rookie? Would need 8 or higher

I've got a boatload of cards from my youth (70s 80s) and never had a card graded. Trying to come up with my top 20 for grading. Any chance this is 8+? If not, not worth my time and effort.

Sorry but that card is too off center to be a straight 8. And you have a pretty sizable print issue on his left sleeve.
I would say very little chance at a 8. Looks like a 5-6 to me.
thanks
Agree with above.
I wouldn't be shocked if this card graded a 4 or 5. It might grade a 6 on its BEST day.
Is that ketchup on his arm?
Corners look weak as well.

I pulled all of these three from the same rack case. Three with a hideous ink splotch to the left oh Eddie’s head. A fourth pulled that didn’t have it and it graded a PSA 9 and sits in my complete graded set to this day. Such a shame as they all were carbon copies with great centering! But I’m happy with the one 9

Pulling four centered Murray rookies is a nice feat. What rotten luck to get the ink splotches! I feel your pain.
This was in 2005 so the pain had evaporated until I looked at recent auction results LOL

Definitely not centered but I don't have the ink splotches and I have an autograph...

and my psa 8 Murray. Tricky card.
Love Murray. I know everyone loved Ripken but Murray was their most feared hitter!
Successful card BST transactions with cbcnow, brogurt, gstarling, Bravesfan 007, and rajah 424.
