Obviously, if I had placed a minimum grade of 8, it would not have crossed.
You have to be realistic with your aspirations on crossovers but if the card looks OK from an alteration standpoint and has a reasonable minimum grade, they do cross at times. Probably safer to just break the card out and resubmit but I know others who also crossed some lesser known grading companies into lower PSA graded slabs.

I wonder if, now that he is a diamond dispenser and head of a grading company, PSA is being more lenient on GAI crossovers, being that Mike Baker was head grader there at the beginning.
