Grading Question

Hi All,
I'm looking at potentially buying an ungraded 1955 Bowman Roy Campanella privately but want to pay a fair price for the card. I am looking at potentially buying a PSA graded card but I wouldn't mind having an extra card or two either without breaking the bank for a newbie like me. Can you please provide me with your opinions (I know these will be unofficial but I'm not very good at "grading" cards). Based on past auction results on PSA cardfacts I know which grade it's being priced at but wouldn't mind some opinions.
I should add I know this isn't a really high grade card but would like to see if it's closer to a 4 or a 7. I've compared the cards to recent sales which is what my thoughts are based on.
Thanks in advance!

Without looking up the centering standards, I'd say a 5.
Nice card but with the corners being a bit rounded I'd say it's a 4.
If no creases/wrinkles, I'd say 4 or 5. What's the white stuff on the back, though?
Speaking of 5,looks like you just hit 5K comments

Can't see top right corner, but I'll say 4.5. Good scans are a must if you want people to offer educated guesses. Try scanning with top up and don't crop so tight.
VERY nice card, whatever the grade!
Back scan, bottom right corner looks like it could be bad?
Thanks for the info! The seller sent me the scan like that.
And thank you all for your opinions. I was thinking it could be a 5 or 6 comparing against some bay auctions but at the same time I'm still getting back into the hobby so want to learn a bit more.
