Magic/Bird BGS 8.5 crossover?

I’ve had this card graded for probably close to 20 years. I’m thinking of taking a shot at a cross-over even just to try for a matching PSA 8.5. The resale value seems to be a significant difference. Does anyone see anything or have any experience that might prevent it from getting an 8.5? It looks great to me but it’s now a $1000 crossover attempt.

    Evening,

    The Upper Right Corner and the O/C T/B puts this in an PSA 8 Holder, wouldn't take the downgrade myself! Your wasting a Thousand Dollars!

    JMHO

    YeeHaw!

    The centering and corners got high grades Beckett so those wouldn't scare me as much as they do Mr. Thursday, but that surface grade scares the bejeezus out of me.

    I would leave as is, wouldn't get higher than an PSA 8... the tilt is pretty obvious.

    Leave it.it might not get a number grade with Psa.

  • Thanks for everyone's input. I was thinking basically the same things but it's helpful to get some other eyes on it. When I saw the difference between a PSA 8.5 & a BGS 8.5 I thought it was worth exploring. Thanks again!
