Well, I have a few thoughts -

1 - "probably"? Ok, sure.

2 - Based on what a great job they did grading your "8", you should get a "12" on your raw one, so I would absolutely pay them for their opinion on it.

3 - Since your "8" is really trimmed on three sides, which makes it "really" worth less than the fee they will charge for the next opinion you pay them for, what you SHOULD do, is bust it out of the case and thumbtack it to your wall, as a reminder to be more careful about future purchases. OR. You could try to sell it to the guy who owns the Diamondbacks, my understanding is that he pays well for trimmed cards.
