Bird/Magic/Erving PSA 9?

I know you only have 2-dimensions to work with, but assuming no "unseen" defects, can anyone tell me why this isn't in a PSA 10 holder?
I submitted this last week with comments asking for notation if it didn't bump. Just got it back in the same grade with nothing to show for my $85.
Btw, the little bit of "snow" that does appear (back of wright's head, bird's shorts, next to magic's elbow are all artifacts from scanner)

I'd say trying to get a 40k card at a super express level is your first problem.
Not that it should make any difference (it REALLY shouldn't right?), the card was actually submitted under the proper service level given its current grade and value. If I submitted every card for review under the service level for which my "expectation" of what it may bump to stood, then boy, I'd be down so much money I'd probably never had this card to begin with.

It can't hurt when trying to get a $39,000 bump to pay a extra $600 to the company your sending it to. It might not matter but if a grader is on the fence? Just my 2 cents.

I would agree, be it not for the fact that the $600 is lost if returned in the same holder. I am pretty confident this card deserves a PSA 10, but to think I have to put up $600, on the potential whims of an unhappy or disgruntled grader leaves me wondering what exactly I am paying for.
It's a beauty... I've heard stories of 2 or 3 reviews before a bump happend.
appreciate it, will certainly try again. Don't think I'll be paying $700 though.
Beautiful card, Josh!

Beautiful card and worthy of a 10 IMO. If you can't get it bumped, and are looking to sell, I'd attach a premium to it.
Best of luck and keep us updated!

its like a larry the cable guy sketch...
"if you have to use an electronic centering tool to figure out if the card is within the guidelines for a 10.... you're probably a redneck ......errrrr.... probably not getting a bump"
same with:
"does that corner look touched?"
"is that too much PD?"
"think that counts as chipping?"
the answer doesn't have to be yes. the question means "no 10 for you".
I have one almost identical...I've sent it in twice and got "top to bottom centering" each time. I think yours was close as they took it out of the holder to look at it as is evidenced by the new holder with number on back. The same guy (head grader) looks at all reviews so it's unlikely if you send it in right away. Maybe wait a few months. I disagree with the "send them $600 and you'll get your bump" theory. My experience has been that whatever level you send it in, if you deserve the grade, you get it. That is why there are so few PSA 10's on this particular card...in order for it to be centered T/B you usually have that small print line on the bottom right. Good luck.
PSA will contact a submitter for additional funds if a card bumps to a higher grade that puts it in a higher price bracket.
