The "8" on the holder is part and parcel of the card's notoriety. Replace that with an "A", you have a different product. We are in a hobby where form trumps substance. How many of the people who own 8's, 9's and 10's care if the card is trimmed as long as they have the almighty slab telling them and everybody who will listen to them what they want to hear? IMO nobody is going to consider paying $10M for the card re holdered as an "A". Imagine that were to happen and the next time the person shows it off to his high heeled friends at a cocktail party some guest in a loud voice asks what is so special about a card graded an "A"? I'd love to be a fly on the wall to see the reaction on the card owner's face in that instance.
I believe the value of this card is a package deal where the number on the flip is part of the package.
