1964 Topps Mickey Mantle PSA 5 (OF) Out of focus. Does anyone else have (OF) cards?

I just scored this on eBay, don't have it in hand yet. I really like how it presents and how unique it seems to be. I've been unable to find any other examples of (OF) cards - the word 'of' existing makes it bit tough.

A few question for everyone:
Does anyone have any other Out of Focus cards to share?
What do you think it would grade without qualifiers, from PSA or SGC?
Any thoughts on its value? I'm familiar with the rule of dropping a card's value a grade or two if it has a qualifier, though personally think this defect could actually be desirable.

Thanks all!

If you like it thats awesome and will be a nice addition to your collection! Personally I feel like I get a headache if I look at it too long lol I would pass on anything like this.

This is one of the coolest things i've ever seen. I'm a huge fan of the OF look on this card personally, though not sure it would work as amazingly on a lot of other photos/card designs though.

Thanks! And yea it definitely wouldn't work on all designs, but for 64 with the team name on the top it's great

I've got a 33 Sewell that's only slightly out of focus. It's *just* enough that I can't display it because the right side of his face messes with my eyes.

Your Mantle is so out of focus it's cool.
