Here are the 10 cards in consecutive order around the Susce card. Pretty consistent grades. (These are the only cards from those four years in sequence.)

As for the Susce, the centering is pretty good, 55/45 or better. The coloring and focus is outstanding, except maybe for the top of the name plate (yellow) at the bottom. There are no fish-eyes. It appears to have nice gloss. None of the corners appear bent or even dinged. Rounding is a word of degrees. The larger the scan, the more "rounding" becomes evident. With that large of a scan, it clearly is not a 9 or 8.5. Most amateur graders only look at centering and corners. There are a number of other qualities a TPG looks at that can't be ascertained in a two-dimensional scan. That was my point in posting the 1959 Drysdale-SGC 88. If the scan doesn't measure up to your standards and you can't examine it raw, then pass. If you buy it anyway, you'll just be wasting your money and be disappointed. You'll end up upgrading again someday.
As far as what it might cross to, I can't begin to guess. My last sub was graded in May.
