PSA 8 to PSA 9

[Throttlesteer]

No, the only experience I've had is cracking it first. It's probably extremely rare to get a bump up while in the holder.

I have heard of it happening, even a 9 to a 10 a few times. I have never had any luck personally.

I have on a number of occasions. Card needs to clearly be under graded to have best success rate.

Yes, it happens. Even on very expensive cards. One of the guys on the PSA message board just increased a Jim Brown rookie from an 8 to 8.5:

I had a Gold Classic Jeter /9500 that I sent in that got a 9. Sold it and forgot to remove it from my inventory. Noticed that when I spotted it next, it had been upgraded to a 10.

Some of the 1993 SP Jeters that are now 10s were once 9s.

I have had several cards bump from an 8 to a 9. Here is my most recent one the Clemente along with a couple of others.

Did you crack out the Clemente before resubmitting?

[swarmee]

They both have the same cert numbers, so no.

Nope. As Swarmee stated the cert # stayed the same.

Was there anything specifically on the Clemente that caused you to reassess?

When I purchased the Clemente (Ebay) I felt it was a strong 8 based on centering. I was thinking a .5 bump based on the centering and corners once I got it in hand. For me the corners need to have 3 very nice looking to even have a shot at a full bump from 8-9.

My criteria when looking at an 8 and determining if it has shot to bump is the following

1) 3 of the 4 corners have to be strong for the grade and 1 corner appropriate for an 8

2). Centering is the # 1 thing they look for as far as a .5 bump is concerned

3). Registration and over picture quality

For me to submit for review I need to have at least 2 out of the 3 apply to the card.

I’ve kept an eye on the Jeter 1993 SP and if 9s did become 10s, it wasn’t in the past 11 months. The pop at PSA is still 22, as it was when I started this thread last May:
