I would think you are probably starting with an outside chance at a 4 given that centering. The 4 standard is 85/15; 3 is 90/10.
Other issues on the card acceptable for the grade (i.e. a wrinkle...) should not result in a compounded lower grade, although I have seen PSA more or less do that to people before. Depends on the name on the order form, I suppose.
SGC used to be a haven for otherwise nice cards with centering issues to get a fair shake, but that ship more or less sailed around the time of Covid. If they are consistent in any area, it shows in their universal love for centering. I've (recently) had cards come back as much as a full grade higher than I was expecting, and the only thing I can attribute it to is good centering. I don't have to like this, but it is more reflective of market reality. People do love them some centered-up cardboard.
