I bought this card and am debating sending it to PSA. Centering is 8.5 but all other grades 9 or 9.5. Is it worth it?
If yes, should I crack the case? Thanks!

I would think that is 9 centering for PSA, but you'd probably have to crack it....
Centering too far off for a 10, BOTH low and to the right, might come back an 8.
Crack and submit to PSA. That has 10 centering, not saying it will come back a 10 though... 10 centering can be as "bad" as 60/40, this one is:

To be clear, did you measure mine? Thanks!
Yes. Although it is in tolerance, I don’t see it hitting a 10. Probably the best you can hope for is a 9.
If you want to measure, I created this tool. You have to download the measure tool linked in the file and transfer the 4 measurements to to the excel file.

I vote no..... keep it as is. Zero chance of a 10 and 15% chance of a 9...... But If you decide to send it in.... mos def crack it out of that PSA 8 coffin it is in currently. ~that is your best chance of a PSA 9 IMO.
Is is just me or is a sharp corner impossible to find on this example, regardless of the BGS Corners subgrade? I'm not sure an 8 is guaranteed.
I think the photo is just blurry enough to hide a clear view ...
Is this better?
Or this? My camera phone is bad close up.
FYI, the scratches are on the case.
Thanks!
Better, yes. Good enough to make a grade opinion, no. CCD Scanner or bust, and even then surface can only be evaluated in hand.
