Raw 61 Maris - Help with Grade?

I picked up this 1961 Maris ungraded. I am planning on sending it in to PSA. The card looks pretty sharp to me, the top right corner has a very slight touch to it. Other than that the only thing I notice is the colors are a little miss aligned.

What do you guys think it will grade?

I will attach lower resolution images and links to a higher resolution.

    The focus is going to hurt it, but still nice. I'd say 7.

    On front-some roughing mid to lower left edge to bottom corner,Maris (his) left eye spot. Fisheye below "R" of Roger. Reverse-spot above (between) N.Y in N.Y. Yankees,outfield. And your aforementioned color misalignment (registration).

    Very attractive card, I'll guess a 7 or 7.5. Centered a little toward the top, but if a card has to be a bit off center this is how I would like it!

    7.5 as it has great front centering.

    Make sure you check this card out alongside a modern chrome card to check sizing

    Just double checked, it was a peace of fuzz on the scanner.

    What a beauty! I was wondering about the left eye as well, glad to hear it's not on the card itself. As far as the grade, I'm gonna say 7.5. Good luck, and nice pick up!
