53 Mantle - Real or Reprint?

Perfect centering? No
Better than most yes but not perfect. Centering is the first thing i look at on a card and especially when someone calls it "perfect"
Not familiar with the grading company but will be curious to see other replies.

Pefectly centered vintage cards are very rare. That one shown isn't perfect but it's really nice. Not sure about the TPG or the card though.

Cards like this, that look this nice, keep me from buying them. I always think there's something I don't know about it. But it does look really nice, with not perfect centering

Probably trimmed

Looks good to me but with those corners I would suspect trimming. I am far from an expert though.
