Anyway, looking to get it re-graded. The card itself has perfect centering and nothing noticeable corner or edge-wise. Under the naked eye, the surface looks good. Taking a closer look under magnifying glass can see a few surface blemishes.
I have sent a batch of 80s football to BGS. (I liked the idea of the .5 grades), most of those came back lower than I thought. I have also sent in a Dan Marino rookie to PSA, that looked the same (to the naked) eye as the Henderson, which came back as an 8.
I'm now kinda leaning toward SGC to send the Henderson and other 80s cards. Is SGC the best option for 80s cards....Just looking for any feedback...Thanks

did you match the rickey up with another base 1980 card? if it's the same size, then it certainly makes sense to have it re-graded (SGC seems like a better idea since you already went down the PSA channel).
