I've always said SGC grades tougher, and that Mantle might just be one of those, but then again, as I have been going through some of my cards, some of which I haven't gone through since acquiring them from my father many years ago, it's surprising what I see now that I didn't see then.
My Sal Yvars, although somewhat rough looking, is covered in wrinkles/creases that don't show in the scan but clearly do just by tilting the card slightly.
That 5.5 Mantle is definitely not like that, but there has to be something there that the scan is not picking up properly.
