If it were me I'd bump the Ryan.
"Molon Labe"
ONE was awarded...
after a lengthy phone conversation with joe o, he stated that some of the cards could have received the bump, but their graders were being particularly strict currently!
he then suggested that i wait six months & re-submit...
personally, i would not even consider submitting for review until much later this year, or next, if at all.
Heres more....

That is weak. Why whould PSA say a card might be an 8 now but an 8.5 in a year? Will the corners regenerate themselves? Will the corners become more square? Will the picture shift on the card to become more centered? I do, at least, like the fact that Joe will talk to members personally when they call.
Getting to your original question, I think the Ryan has a shot. I have seen many 9s with MUCH worse centering on the back. A bump on that card could easliy be worth $500-$1500, maybe more. I don't know much about the 55s, but the bottome right corner looks like a 7. Very nice card though.

If you don't mind me asking, what did that Cobb set you back?

Thanks. I was just curious because I see some (diff. versions) on Ebay for $2-$4k. I'm still learning which are "real" prices and which are inflated.
Thanks again,

I agree the prices on eBay are high but some sellers are nice and have a best offer option. Next t206 I want is TY COBB Green PSA 5....just waiting until I can find one thats centered.
Good luck on your hunt.
why would he say that? thats weak, it implies that standards change on the whim of their graders. ridiculous.
the 1/2 point bump is a scam.

Sadly, ALLTPGs take their outside-limits from those set by the market.
IF the market accepts the appearance of a card at a certain grade, more
such cards will follow. If the market looks at a .5 and says, "Too Liberal,"
the TPGs will back off and be "particulary strict."
Market-Grading has the capacity to KILL the usefulness of TPGs.
I want strict standards, and I want them adhered to. Most complaints
about low grades should fall on deaf ears at PSA. I don't want my items
devalued by liberalized standards. If that is going to happen, we might
as well sell ALL 8s/9s/10s right now; they will only be worth less if
"market grading" takes hold.
I just wanted to say that I enjoyed your cards - they're beauties and I would be proud to have them in my collection!
Good luck if you decide to sub them for the bump.

You must have got the cobb awhile ago to get a 5 for only $1000.
