....the value of these is mainly that they are decent centering......the cards themselves are pretty available . Topps centering is where the difficulty lies . To us centering weenies, anyway.......

And I know I'm not alone here.......

You are far from alone, sir. There are cards and then there are centered cards. Centering makes a specific card rare. I always wonder when I shop: given the total graded population of any key Post War card, how many of those are really dead centered?

Hells bells I see PSA 8s and 9s that have ugly centering and tilt. They do nothing for me!

The 57 isn't dead centered but it is well centered.

1956 has always been my favorite Mantle. 65 is also up there.

centering? now we're talking!!!
 
that 58 up there is amazing!!

and agreed on centering...

the 57 is one of the hardest in my opinion, probably followed by the 65/69 considering the tilt issues coupled w/ the rounded inner boarders.

here are some 57s:

Paging Matty for some centered Mantle scans! Lord knows what he's picked up lately.

there's a thread somewhere dedicated to basic centered mantles on one of the boards...

1957 Mantle and team mates-----
