Can someone answer these questions, please (if there are easy to find links at the PSA website, then I apologize in advance):
1. I have a number of 1962 Topps green tints that aren't marked so on the slabs (they were graded before PSA differentiated between regular cards and GT's), and would like to get them 'corrected' at some point. First of all, do I have to be a member to do this? If not, what is the specific cost involved, aside from declared value, postage and whatnot? In case it matters, I wouldn't want them re-graded, just for the slabs to now indicate "Green Tint."
2. I have a couple of cards with qualifiers that absolutely baffle me. Most notably, this 1961 Banks MVP graded long ago:

What in heck is the print defect?? That tiny white mark in front of Ernie's eyes? No way! Is there a way to convince PSA to change this card to a straight 9? (Before someone chimes in to say it shouldn't be a 9 to begin with, I will say that in hand the corners are sharp...although it doesn't scan that way for some reason.) I sent an e-mail to PSA a long while back, and never got a response. And that was to someone who I had a few conversations with in the past. How do I ask them to review the card? What does that entail and cost? Is there a chance that they will actually agree it's mislabeled and change it, or will they just stick to their guns and say it's justified?? I have no desire to sell it at the moment, but a straight 9 is infinitely more valuable than a PSA 9 PD.
Thanks!
