I doubt based on GAI's reputation that PSA would even consider crossing the card at this grade. Just too much risk on their part to slab this card without looking at it outside the current holder.
It is a beautiful card.
If you knew that Mike Baker reviewed it in the early days of GAI before issuing the grade, then it might well be fine but no way to know that for certain.
Unfortunately, Baker will not review GAI graded cards with his new service even though he was a co owner of GAI. I know this because I asked if he would review a GAI 8.5 graded 1954 Red Heart Mantle. The answer was he does not review GAI cards. Pretty telling answer IMO.

Thank you. This is the kind of answer I was looking for.
So, what now? Is it better to keep it in a GAI holder for eternity or would having it raw be better?
