Any Luck with resubmitting PSA 8's to get something higher?

Please share your experiences.
I wonder if one can go from a PSA 8 to a PSA 9 or 10.
A really nice PSA 8 in the pre-half grade era might get a PSA 8.5 at least in the half grade era. How does one know if a card was graded in the PSA pre-half grade era? Any serial number indications?
I always look for the card, not the grade. I have bought PSA 8's before because they looked perfect or at least looked like a PSA 9. When a PSA 8 is $50 and the PSA 9 version $300, it was a no brainer to wait for a nice PSA 8 example to come along. I did that with the Paul Molitor rookie. Its a PSA 8, but its perfect in every way except for slight off centering (better than 60-40, but not exactly 50-50). No smudge either.
I have just been looking at some cards I want from ebay recently. I put them on "watched items" ready to pull the trigger. Have you guys bought some really nice PSA 8's and got grade bumps upon resubmission from either PSA or BGS??

Granted it was on a modern card (early 90s), and before PSA went to the half-point system.
Since half grades came to be, numerical grade on line under the alpha grade:
