Black Lotus 6 X 9 inch promo card from Scrye magazine

Hi all! I have no experience grading cards (I only use CGC for comics) but I came across this promo card when I was digging through my 90s stuff. On eBay it seems to go for $100 or more, and to my untrained eye it looks like it's in good shape.

You can see from the photos that there are little dimples on the card, which I'm guessing is from some part of the manufacturing process or bagging of the card with the magazine. I've also included a pic of the worst corner.

Questions are:

1) Can things like the dings be pressed out? (Again, I'm coming from the world of comics where that's commonplace)

2) With those surface dings, how much does that hurt the card's grade?

3) What overall grade would you give this?

4) With graded versions going for much more money, is it worth getting it graded considering the condition?

 

Thanks to any and all who reply!
