Personally, I would take MattyC's PSA 4.5 over this 9.5 and two of the PSA 10s. There are probably fewer than 15-20 truly perfectly centered 52 Topps Mantles in any grade that don't have creases (and this 9.5 is not perfectly centered). I know there are only 9 perfectly centered Jackie Robinsons in a grade 4 or higher out of the ~900 or so copies on VCP (yes, I went through them all one-by-one and counted). Some day when I get the time, I'll comb through all the Mantles too and take notes. Centering on key vintage cards is so much more scarce than even most of us realize. Same with 54 Topps Hank Aaron and 51 Bowman Mays & Mantle, and many others. You can probably count the total number of dead-centered copies in existence on your fingers and toes.
