I once graded a 1967 Topps Marichal or McCovey that had missing ink on the back similar to the 1958 Mantle and it graded a PSA 9. Most of the missing ink was in the name, bio and cartoon area. I didn't notice the back it until I was pricing the card after it was graded. If I noticed it beforehand I doubt I would have submitted it.
I told people about the card back when they looked at the card at shows and one of the first people to look at the card was excited it had the defect and bought it.
Not everyone looks at cards the same way.
