Back reveals some red from another card.

Early flip and possibly the grading standards were not as well defined as they are now.
I was going to say it was a 4 and submitter asked for no qualifiers but then I saw who’s auction it was. Never mind.
PSA does not adhere to their back standards for centering from my experience with 50s cards. There are ‘55 Bowmans graded as 8 that show the card next to it on the back similar to that Mantle.

"I spent 50% of my money on alcohol, women, and gambling. The other half I wasted.
