First of all, nice card. Secondly, SGC has always seemed more consistent than the others and probably got the grade correct. Now, the difference compared to others with that grade is that yours is "high end," meaning it meets the criteria in ways, including flaws, that are not so obvious, whereas with some others in the grade, it's more obvious even in a scan. People who buy 1953 Mantles will be buying the card and not the holder anyway. Keep it as is, nice card, looks good.
All cards pictured in this thread look great and will sell for more than the typical grade on the holder, at least IMO. High resolution scanner is a must when it comes time to sell.
P.S. I was referring to all SGC graded cards pictured here and the Kaline. Demmitt was 1.5 - 2 grades to the good.
