How Will Wax Stain Affect PSA Grade on This Mantle?

Hi! I'm wondering how the gum/wax stain on the back of this 1961 Topps #44 Home Run Leaders card will affect the grading by PSA? According to the PSA Grading Standards, even an 8 can have a light wax stain on the reverse. However, it seems to me that PSA automatically drops even very nice cards to a 4 or 5 if it has any kind of noticeable wax stain on the back.
Any thoughts on what PSA would grade this card? The front is very clean with great focus and no creases.
Thanks in advance for any replies!

In this case, as the corners look 8-ish, I'd go for an 8 (st).
I bought a beautful 1960 Maris from another board member here with the same staining (it is also an 8 (st)). Thought about a resub, but no way it will get above a 6 - so I'd rather have the qualifier in this case.
