I am thinking about selling my psa-9 and buying this psa-8.5. I only am doing so to raise cash. I hate to part with the "9"...but this "8.5" is a nice consolation prize. What do you think about the two cards? Please...vote for your preference.

I am indifferent between the two cards. Does one have a better centered or brighter back than the other? Otherwise to me it is a toss-up.
The backs are comparable in toning and centering.
They look pretty comparable from the scans, can't say I like either one better so no vote. Seems like a reasonable downgrade to free up some funds.
Boy, they are both JUICY NICE cards!!
What’s the price difference?
9 worth more and the label is a little nicer. Lower number too
Best place to buy !

The price difference is about $12k to 15k depending on the aesthetics of the two cards being compared (9 vs 8.5)...
That top left corner on the 8.5 bothers me. Personally I like your 9 better.

The top left corner of the 8.5 looks slightly touched and could be the reason for the difference in grades. The 9 I think is a slightly nicer card. But $10k nicer? Not for me. The Reggie rookie I've had for 30 years is a PSA3, I have never upgraded because he was my most hated player as a kid growing up. If pricing on both sides were locked in and I could pocket $10k (or maybe even $15k) I'd make the trade and go get something sweet that I really wanted. But that's just me, what makes you happy could very well be different. Depending on what you collect, where you allocate your resources, its up to you.
Now I like the 9.
I am partial to the 9 mainly due to the registration. On the 8.5 the registration favors the right and makes it appear slightly o/c.

Depends on what you will be potentially doing with the 10-15K.
PSA 9 all the way. The top left corner on the 8.5 would drive me crazy! Even with the price difference, the perfection of the corners on the 9 is worth it.
They are both super nice but for a $10K difference, I'd live with that top left corner any day.
I hated Reggie, sell them both and buy Killebrew!
The 9 Jackson rookie ALL THE WAY!
Love this card. Your 9 rocks. In terms of holding value, that card is near the top of my list. I can't imagine another place I'd put the money in terms of cards. Unless you think we are near the top, then I'd hold onto both of those.

Prefer to buy in bulk.
I think the centering is better on the 8.5. If you centered the 9 in the holder so you could see the entire top border I think it would show that it would look slightly OC T/B.
Definitely the 9 because of that upper left corner on the 8.5
Agree re: the 9. I actually think the 8.5 should be more like an 8 with the top left corner.
The 8.5 is centered better but the 9 far outshines the 8.5 on my first glance impression. If the upper left corner was equal to any of the the other 3 corners on the 8.5 I would take the 8.5 and use the funds for something else. In this case however I would keep the PSA 9.
