Pete, someday Altman or Karpathy or some other egghead may perfect AI that scours eBay for cards as effectively as you do, but today is not that day. Today you are the master of eBay.

Haha. I had a search for a 59 Mantle and it just happened to come up. Truly hysterical though. It looks even better on this screenshot.

The image of the flip is a little blurry, but I believe in person those bar code lines on the label are sharp enough to justify the label receiving the EX grade.

As someone who doesn't prioritize centering as much as surface and image clarity, I can attest via decades of bidding/buying that while the flip does set the base price there are a notable amount of people who will bail on a card if the centering isn't there no matter what the flip says.

Centering is a money killer for mid-to-low grades.

Almost all my "great deals for the grade" on cards with an established market involve centering issues.
