Would this cross over to a PSA 10?

neenish

I just got this card back from Beckett grading. I thought this card was perfect (I know everyone says that all the time). The subgrades were: 9.5 centering, 9.5 corners, 9 edges, 9 surface for a BGS 9 1985 Donruss Roger Clemens rookie card. Would it be wise for me to crack it open and cross it over to PSA (or leave it in the case and cross over that way to PSA-I don't know exactly how the cross over process works)? There's a huge difference between a BGS 9.5/PSA10 Donruss Rc of the Rocket and a BGS/PSA 9 card. Any input would be grealy appreciated.
Sorry, newbie mistake on the first post.

PSA will almost certainly not cross a rival's 9 to a PSA 10. Not direct from the rival's holder, anyway. If you feel it's a very strong 9 and has a chance at 10, then crack it out and submit raw. At worst you will get PSA 9, though you will have invested another $10 plus 2-way shipping. You have to decide how confident you are that it's really a 10 in 9's clothing.

Yup, I agree. Don't send it in a BGS holder. Do it raw. Although with subs like that (.5 from gem mint) you would command a nice premium over a PSA 9. If it came back a PSA 9, you'd probably lose money and tag on the extra submission charge, shipping, and return shipping. I wouldn't chance it. I'd keep it.

There have been quite a few posts about crossing over cards for 10's. Check the search engine.
I would not risk cracking it out or crossing it over unless you are content with a PSA 9. If you examine the card and you are convinced it is a 10, crack it out and submit it to PSA but be aware that cracking a Beckett holder is not a gimme and damage could result.
I did have a BGS 7 vintage card crossover to a PSA 8 using the crossover service.

Of course there are risks with cracking open. Like the time I busted a PSA 7 - 59 Mantle out because I thought it was better and got it back from PSA with the little note...."evidence of trimming". Later I glued it bad together and resubmitted it for a reholder. Got back my new 7 case. Soon I'll try it again.
