1953 Bowman Reese - Crossover or Sell

[STL1944]

I have a 1953 Bowman Reese in a BVG 5 holder. I am trying to put together a PSA registry set.

The card has decent centering and ok corner

Am I better to:

a) Crossover the card to PSA
b) Break the card out of the holder and submit it raw to PSA
c) Sell the card and buy a PSA version

My scanner is not the best, but here is a scan of the card:

With that picture, the card could be anything from a PSA 3-7. Did surface wear account for the grade from BVG?
Here's how I would do it for myself.
Send to PSA on a review submission with a min grade of 4.5. If it gets a 4.5 or higher, it would go into the PSA slab. If it would grade a 4 or lower, they will return it in the BVG slab, unless they had to remove it to detect trimming.
If it gets returned in the Beckett holder, then I might consider cracking it out.

+1 . . . Fuzzy scan, so hard to tell. The print schmack (?) will pull it down grade-wise. Best thing going for it is centering. If it were mine, I'd sell it as is and use the proceeds to buy one in PSA.

Crack, submit, take your accolades or lumps either way it goes. Nice card btw.

I have always wanted to crack and submit .... but never had the guts for my own cards. Since this is not mine, crack it!

I may do the same on a few

Nice card!

If you're going to crack open a Beckett holder, be careful and wear eye protection. Seriously.
