    That's a really nicely centered and sharp 8, but those roller marks are pretty significant, so I doubt it would get 8.5 because of that.
    Your 9 also has slight marks (in the S and on his arm, as well as marks in the left border), and if it were graded post-half grade era, I think it would get an 8.5.

    The PSA 8 appears to be the right grade; edges and mark on the S. The PSA 9, I don't think would get bumped due to the marks on the S, the what appears to be a fish eye on the A, and the markings on the bottom right. JMO

    I think the top to bottom centering, plus the prit dot between N and G in Angels, along with the printing line going through the S keeps that card out of a 9 holder. I wouldnt find that card terribly out of place in a PSA 8.5 holder though. Both are nice cards, that I wouldnt mind owning. Good Luck with whatever you decide to do.

    The edges on the 8 make it an 8. Very nice card, but properly graded and I don't think it will bump. The 9 has better edges and is a better card overall, but there are marks of various sorts literally all over the front of the card, and I think it might actually be a little overgraded. If it is, it's not by much, but no way it could ever bump to a 10.

    What kind of scanner do you use? I am in the market for a new one and the scans of these Ryans are nice!

    I agree with what the others have said. The cards are pretty much where they belong and don't think they would bump.

    Nice looking cards by the way...Donato

    Great centering on both cards. Grades are where they belong

    top/bottom centering keeps that 8 an 8 IMO. That 9 looks awesome!
