Will PSA grade this 1960 Mantle ???

Hello all. I am new here and have been reading these forums dailey. Finally figured out how to post with photos. Am looking for opinions if PSA will grade this card with the bad back side and what if any grade it may receive. Thanks for your help.

From their grading standards page, "Cards with a factory miscut, such as a diamond cut, or when another card's image is on the original card will be designated 'MC.'"

With such a bad miscut on the back, they might refuse to grade it. If they do slab it, I'd expect a 2MC or 3MC.

might be a 4 with a qualifier MC or they might give it Not Holdered, Miscut

Might even be a nograde, but this is why looking at the backs matter! (From a discussion yesterday.)

Bob Buhl was a pitcher for the Braves. Believe he also pitched for the cubs.....also a few more teams if my memory serves me right..

I don't see why they wouldn't grade it. I think it would probably come back a 3? Not positive but maybe 2 or 3.

He was a good pitcher though ....166 Wins

Bob was pretty much the 3rd guy on the Braves staff then, behind Spahn and Burdette. Could usually be counted on to eat innings and post a winning record with double digit wins.

And that is a cool pic of Johnny

Anybody got an input on what a 3 or 4MC '60 Mantle would sell for?

Miscut? I'm not so sure. Is there ANY WAY this card could have been cut any "better." As it stands right now, the front of the card likely qualifies for a PSA 8 or PSA 9 centering wise. But if the card had been within the confines of a PSA 8 or PSA 9 centering wise on the back, you can only imagine what the front of the card would look like.
