Hand Cut Card Expert Opinions Needed

I am wanting to submit this card on the December Special, but wanted to know if it would come back with the dreaded "AUTH" tag rather than an actual grade.
Per the PSA hand cut requirements...
In order for PSA to actually assign a grade to any of the cards that possess visible/defined borders on all four sides, evidence of that border must be present. If the cut exceeds the visible border for the card in question, PSA will encapsulate the card as "Authentic" only. If the card is severely undersized and suffers in overall eye-appeal, the graders may deem the card not suitable for authentication or reject the card as minimum sized altogether.
Keep in mind that, for cards that do not possess visible/defined borders, the cards must still fall within a certain size requirement for that particular issue in order to qualify for an actual grade. In other words, the borders must be virtually full in order for a grade to be rendered. Otherwise, as stated above, a label of "Authentic" will be assigned or, in some cases, the cards may fall short of the size requirement altogether. This is not an exact science, however, PSA will do its best to provide consistent guidelines for these types of cards.
What do the experts think? Can I expect a grade other than PSA AUTH on this?
Thanks.

it looks like the dots are showing enough to render a grade. I've seen worse cuts get a grade.

I subbed a couple I hand cut out side the perforation and it came back as authentic
it must be pulled apart to qualify
they will not assign it a number grade...
if perforations...you must perforate....
good luck...
