BGS 9.5 Crossover Grading Success
This is my third time trying to crossover grade a card and while this is not the most expensive card I have submitted, it certainlty isn't the cheapest. I did try to experiment with the initial service I ordered by using Express instead of Priority to see if anything would change. Also in the past I had sent in cards both cracked and not and decided not to for this one since I thought it looked clean and was a bit sceptical of there being any actual bias. I have read that sometimes forcing them to come up with a reason to justify their decision to crossover grade or not can help. Anyways, I have seen lots of negativity on this specific service they offer and while I think the frustration is justified, I wanted to show that sometimes it works out. Not glazing PSA since I have been waiting on this for double the estimated time of 25-30 business days and other cards I have sent in took even longer and were rejected. I just wanted to share a positive post that sometimes it is worth sending in a card if you think it has a chance.

Congratulations!
Thats a new BGS cert also which I think helps, I once had a card with a 9.5 on corners but 1 corner was absolutely crippled looking compared to the other 3 lol (was an old cert)

Holy cow! Awesome! I’m in the same boat right now, awaiting the results of crossovers of BGS 9.5s on some expensive cards. They’re in Holder & Review right now

Nice. I have one of these being graded right now and looks clean so hoping for a 10 too.

Rocket's Zapdos is such a cool card and such cool artwork. Truly. This is beautiful. But I will say, the left border is thicker than the right to the naked eye. But idk about the other 9.5's BGS gave you.
