Al/Gordita, hell of an eye on those Mantles, man. Good selects! Talkin' several grades higher eye appeal on those. The CJ, 49 Jackie, Orr, truly every card in this thread makes spending for high grade look kinda insane.

And thx, James. Appreciate the kind words!

Due respect, but a PSA 6 is not "low grade." Gorgeous card!

I always liked the 1958 and 1959 AS cards. This 1959 AS Mantle must have been down graded due to centering, but overall it's a nice card.

Yep. SGC used to be a bit of a haven for cards with centering issues to still get a fair shake, but that ship has sailed. To sympathize, their current stance probably does reflect the market sentiment better. But your card is likely close to EX-MT quality on the surface and corners, just with horrible centering. Without qualifiers, that's what SGC will do to you now.
