Crack and resubmit or Sub-Bump Attempt?

All The Hype · Jun 10, 2009

Sent in a card and was surprised that it came back a BGS 9 (subs of 9, 9, 9.5, 9.5). I'm fairly confident could/should be a BGS 9.5, so I'm going to send it back to BGS for another try. I'm looking for opinions on which you think would give the better chance at a successful upgrade: Crack the 9 case and resubmit the card altogether? Or send in the whole slab and hope for a sub-bump?

My thoughts are that I'm only .5 away from an overall 9.5, so a sub-bump may be the way to go...but at the same time, do they actually take the time to closely review a sub-bump attempt?

Thoughts?

On a sub bump attempt, if it does not bump, they send you a detailed sheet noting the flaws for why they did not bump the card. This might help you out a bit.

Detailed note: The corners are crap!

:lol: Kidding aside I don't think it matters.

What card is it?

That makes a difference.

Thanks for the input so far guys, here is the card. I'm looking at it right now again and although I can definitely understand the 9 centering grade, I'm really struggling to see why the edges only got a 9. I'm no pro grader obviously, but they look not just like a 9.5 to me, but perfect.

I would just try for a sub-bump.

Is he still selling well?

Check the edges on the back.

Stuff died down a bit since he was optioned, but I made some nice sales and have since re-bought a bunch of stuff for less than what I just sold the same stuff for a couple weeks ago. Always feels good to profit off a guy multiple times, hopefully Wilkin is no different.

JVC- Back edges look just as perfect as the front ones. I am very confident that they will receive a better grade or get the bump this time around.

are you viewing the edges with a loupe or just your own eye power?

Better question is what is wrong with the centering, looks gem, maybe.
