PSA N9 designation for an uncatalogued 1915 Cracker Jack variation - Now with scans!

[brianp-beme]

I recently just submitted my first order to a TPG (PSA)...which means of course this long time raw collector has officially moved over to the dark side. Bwwwhahaha!

Ok, to get to my question. I wanted them to grade a 1915 Cracker Jack card I have that is potentially an uncatalogued variation. My card does not have a number on the back. I indicated on the form that this was an uncatalogued NO # variation. I got back the result of N9, which I looked up on their website and evidently is used to indicate either a card that does not fit their holders, or that it is an obscure issue that they do not grade.

Of course, this card is neither. It is just something that has not been seen before. With my examination of the card it appears to be a legit variation, but I wanted a grading company to examine it and confirm. Is PSA unwilling to provide that type of service? Should I try SGC instead? Is there an appropriate way for me to request a grading company to actually authenticate this potential variation? I of course would be interested if anyone has come across this situation before, or has some useful advice. Thanks.
