I'm with you... I thought it was quite nice for a "4". The main thing I look for on these '57 Topps is surface wear. The vast majority seem to be plagued by "snow", which is especially visible in the second card (PSA 4) that you posted.
If there is any wear on the card's surface, Robbie's red sleeves will show it. The printed surface on these '57s simply didn't hold up well, and sadly the one eBay rejected was clean as a whistle in this regard. I cared far more about the actual image, and less about the typical corner wear and the slight OC top-to-bottom.
