1969 Topps Nolan Ryan: Good, Bad, or Just ok buy?

Been looking to add some EXMT-ish graded early Ryans to the PC, I typically buy already slabbed but decided to take a chance on this card raw with the hopes of getting a "6" on it graded.
Bought it from a LCS for $100. Good, Bad, or "just ok" buy? Wondering what the community thinks it might grade and whether the purchase price was justified. As you can see, light corner wear with decent only centering. Back is clean.

Very nice! I think you did well.
PSA 6
Chaz
Complete black inner border is always a plus.
Looks nice!
I have to give a thumbs up.🖒
Great Card
I think it has a good shot at a PSA 6, but I also think PSA 6 is your ceiling.
I'd say it has a 75% chance for PSA 6, and the other 25% would be for a 5 or 5.5
Nice pickup, and good luck.
If you’re happy, it was a good buy.
Looks a little miscut, I’ve seen worse in slabs
6 seems about right, then again there’s worse 7’s out there
Good luck!
devils adv here
looks like a slight tilt and top seems to cut the border not symmetrical to bottom border
trimmed maybe.
VCP shows a 6 at $150 to $190 so if ok you made a decent buy.
Iconic card of Ryan one of my all time favorites
congrats
