Default Grade or Not to Grade? Clemente w/Scratches on Back

Does anyone have pertinent experience with sending a card with scratches on the back (or anything relatively closely comparable to that type of wear) to SGC?

I have this nicely centered 1969 Topps #50 Roberto Clemente with little corner touches that was going to be a part of my next sub, but if the scratches (claw marks?) in the back corner area (close-up below) automatically drop it way down, it simply won't be worth it. Am I looking at an automatic 3 or lower for something of this nature, before the rest of the card is even assessed?

(The card is nice and flat, it is only an optical illusion making it appear to be wavy.)

Thanks!

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.
