This debate seems to come up often and I agree with this for the most part. The difference between a 9 and 10 can seem arbitrary at best, especially when viewing scans online. But I'm sure a lot of people have tried to bump their 9s to 10s and many of these type of cards 9s out number 10s by huge ratios, 285 to 4 in the case of the Smith. Even with the 86 Jordan it's about 2400 to 240. A lot of 9s may have been bumped to 10s, but several times more have likely tried and failed.
