Opinions on this 1964 Mantle "HIGH GRADE"

First off....I'm asking for someone to link this auction. EBAY Auction # 140704539912. Thank you in advance to the nice person who links it for me.
I've looked at this card a million times. Are folks thinking that this card is altered in some way? Nice scan. I'm not sure what to think of the card. Opinions appreciated.
Thanks,
Mickey71
Also...how do you link auctions?

the flip # is not from a range that I recall being questionable.
Price for an SCH-holdered card seems a little heavy. Knowing that PSA is tough on cross-overs I'd guess it would
cross at an 8 (if it crosses) due to the T/B centering. The other thing to watch for is MINSIZREQ. I've seen a number
of SGC 92s that PSA wouldn't cross due to this issue.
Hope that is useful.

Was asking members' opinions about the card. You just stated yours. You do not think the card is special. I wanted to see if anyone saw something that I didn't.
Does the Mantle have one of those cartoon scenes on reverse that were intended to be scratched/revealed w a coin, and if so has it been scratched?
If tried crossing at PSA, I think an 8 is the best you would get. While the corners, edges, and centering are nice for the grade, the printing and registration isn't great on this card, which many times is the difference between a 9 and 8.

I was just asking if I had missed something because you asked if people were thinking it was altered in some way. If it were priced at $700 I might be inclined to think that it may be altered in some way, but with the way it's priced I don't know why people would question it. At $950, even if it crosses to PSA 8.5, you still only make around $100 after fees and if it crosses to an 8 then you lose $300. If you keep it in it's holder and pay $950 then it's way overpriced, imo.
My opinion:
Centering 8.5
Corners 9
Edges 9
Surface 8 (print dots)
I'd say it crosses to:
PSA 9 maybe 10%
PSA 8.5 maybe 20%
PSA 8 maybe 60%
Min Size or sheet cut... 10%

If you love the card ... Difficult with Mantle, but make an offer of a more reasonable amount. For sellers with pristine feedback, like this one,
I've offered to pay by check/M.O. to save fees in the case that the listing just happens to end by accident.
Good Luck
