What you probably noticed is that these off centered cards, say on a 55 Clemente or Koufax, or 63 Rose PSA 7 are selling for a lot more than what the centered cards sold for a month or two ago. What you may not have noticed is the nice cards without the print defects that are centered are still going for big premiums.
Some guys are out there chasing flips but demand for nice looking cards for their grade is not going away. This is even more true in low and mid grade cards such as the 52 Mantle Leon posted.
