I did try to do this. Unfortunately you can't always take out bias. I felt that about 80% of the 8's were better, and maybe 20% were equal or worse. I obviously only was able to "grade" the corners, edges, and overall eye appeal. I think if I regraded it, there's a decent chance of getting a bump to 7.5, and a slim to an 8. I hardly doubt that I it would ever grade lower than a 7.
I might go with Hammerin' Hanks advice and just send the card in with a bottle of scotch.
