Were it not for that crease I think the 4 in this case would go for more than the 5. Centering and Eye appeal is at a premium and people are willing to pay for it.
Here's a good example from a couple of auctions I watched last week:
SGC 3 52 Mantle off center sold for about 13.5k with buyer's premium

SGC 1.5 52 Mantle Centered 10.3k
http://www.ebay.com/itm/1952-Topps-M...p2047675.l2557
I'm sure we'd all agree there's normally at lot more than a 3k difference in the value of this card in a 1.5 vs a 3. I actually thought the SGC 3 would sell for less than it did.
