Harsh morning sunlight on the photo - colors in real life not washed out like that. Thanks in advance.

Centering seems good...while I would like to give you 9 but probably PSA 8 due to edges and notable corner issues. Thats great close up photos!
psa 5 due to crease on back lower left.
This was the last baseball set I collected as a kid, loved this card.
For the grade I'd give it a PSA 5 cause of that small crease on the back

For me there is also some concern as to the wavy edges when looking at the front of the card, most notably the right side.
5 at best or worse
corner problems and looks like a crease on back corner by player

Thank you everybody. I didn't notice that crease on back and didn't know a back-side crease like that has such an impact.

It is on the front as well.... Back or front, same value deduction.

I see what you mean on that but I don't think it is trimmed, just a bad factory cut. Happens a lot with the outter edge cards.
The edges do look weird, but that might be the fact the card is a little curved. Because it won't get a 9, the card isn't really worth grading. Would be a good raw sale. I would measure the width across at the top, middle , and bottom to make sure no hanky panky!
