Am I wrong in assuming there are no wrinkles or other hidden problems? One possible worry is the back centering. It is a hair away from being miscut, which may or may not fit within the standards for PSA mid-grade cards...but it is probably AOK.
Good luck!!

thanks, Elm. the face is pretty clean. Above the tip of his cap there is a very subtle spot where the yellow color is off. it might possibly be a stain of some sort. That could cost it a 5, and also as you mentioned the back is close to miscut. We will see. when I buy cards like this, i try to assume the worst possible grade and be happy to own it for that price... After all, we are collectors..
