That's a dynamite Willie Mays. With its centering however, it wasn't Darth Grader in the hot seat. Whoever had the privilege, and pressure, of grading that gem must have been enjoying, carefully, his delightfully flavored late morning coffee!
Since PSA allows, fortunately for the owner, not to mention the rest of us, a bit of off-centeredness when grading a card a "10", the final outcome will still be shadowed by the centering. I know deep pockets buys the double-digit gem pasteboards, but if we see such a, what appears to us at least, a glaring discrepancy, the select company of wealthy card connoisseurs will too, and not reward it with high six figures.
After all, they would never want to be thought of, referred to, whispered of, nor spoken of, as a double-digit idiot. Oh, I must emphasize something important about my usage of "idiot" here; it is pronounced "ID-GIT", as our friend Yosemite Sam beautifully butchered the word.
