Review Poppage - a pair of '54 Bowman NFL HOF RC Bumps

The bulk of my collection was acquired prior to half-grading by PSA. I've been waiting patiently (maybe not always so patient) for a review special to send in some of my more expensive cards. I finally decided to send in 7 cards under last month's $500 or less Set Registry Special. The order took more than twice as long as it should have (21 business days v. 10), but today my order finally popped. Out of the 7 cards submitted for review, I received half-grade bumps on 4. The highlight is a pair of 1954 Bowman Football HOF RCs that went from PSA 8 to PSA 8.5 - Blanda and Atkins. Here are some scans of the cards in their old holders:
They are both relatively low pop in 8.5 or higher grades, so these were some worthwhile bumps I think.

Do you have scans of the others? Any idea as to why they are not 9's?
The other cards that bumped were just a mid-grade 1948 Leaf FB and a mid-grade 1935 National Chicle FB high #. Nothing special, may not have even been worth the review fees, but I wanted to send in at least a few more that looked worthy of a bump.
I have at least 6-8 cards in the $500-$1999 Express grading category that need to be sent in next. Though, at $35 each, I will probably hold out for another review special.

Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.
