That's what I'd do. I have a flawless 61 Koufax. A grade of PSA 9 was assumed when I sent it in a few years back. It came back a 7, which astounded me (psa didn't do half grades at the time). I am absolutely certain the so-so grade was the result of the standard "red feather" print mark to the left of Sandy's face. The grader didn't know that EVERY 61 Koufax has that mark.
My mistake was to resubmit it to SGC in the 7 holder. The grader gave it a 7.5. While the practice is somewhat subjective, I am an expert on grading cards. This Koufax is going to be cracked open, and be submitted with a note about the "red feather"... I'm not going to assume the grader knows about it. It will absolutely come back no worse that 8.5; probably 9.
