The scanner did away with the period thanks to my dust removal feature. I am sorry, I think that 5.5 looks really strong. If you look at the brown background it is really nice, even compared to the '8' that was scanned. Usually you see a lot of trash and crap in it. And the registration is dead on. No double image or blurring. And the centering isn't too shabby either.
I spoke with a Beckett rep a few months ago and he told me that the BVG grading includes the usual 4 subs, plus an overall eye appeal sub that the bgs does not have. Thus, you will see a card grade a 7 that is centered, but may have a rough corner or two versus a PSA 7 that could be 65-35 centered with one corner slightly less bothered. They assume that the eye appeal for a card could/should garner a grade or so higher. Just their take, not a bad idea. I think the collectors agree at least with this Jim brown.

I can't say for sure, but it's also very possible that the "dust removal feature" on your scanning program also removed a lot of the "trash and crap" from the black background on your card. Still, that's a nice Jim Brown RC.
from a presentation perspective that PSA 5 looks really nice aside from the obvious flaws and i'd choose it over the PSA 8 given the potential cost involved.
i guess some people do buy the card and not the holder.

No - it doesn't change the background color. It just gets rid of loose 'trash'. It thinks the dot is trash. I bought the Brown raw and I paid a premium for it, due to the registration, centering, and a nice solid brown background. I thought it was going to grade higher than it did, although I am not surprised by the grade.

That 5.5 is a beautiful card for the reasons you state. The solidness of the black is definitely rare for this card.
My 5 I also got raw and subbed it myself. I like my 8 but that 5 is near the top of my favorite Jimmy cards.
