I feel like the Pignatano's corners are too soft to get a 9. I sent in four '61 Topps hoping for mostly 9's, maybe one 8 due to centering. I got an 8, a 7, and two 6's. The corners looked easily as sharp as your '59. Rarely will vintage cards grade as high as you expect.
I did get two nice surprises in my last submission to PSA though- a '75 Yount rookie and a '75 Brooks Robinson both graded a 9! The Yount's VCP average is $450+ and Brooks is around $150. I pulled both from packs last year.
