DO NOT CRACK OUT. Resubmit multiple times as a crossover if you feel it's PSA worthy, but DO NOT CRACK OUT.

Also make sure it's not "sheet cut". I have two 74s graded BVG 9.5 I tried to cross that came back EOT.

Yes, checking that the card is full size is very important when trying to cross over BGS to PSA. Luckily though, PSA will give you the MINSIZREQ to let you know that's the problem if it doesn't cross. And make sure to specify PSA 10 as the min grade to crossover, unless you'll still be able to make a profit on a PSA 9.

The BVG 9.5 Yount is sheet cut. Zero percent chance it will cross. Zero percent chance it will end up in a numbered PSA holder if broken out and submitted.

Why respond with that answer without explaining why you think it's sheet cut? Why declare that it is, and provide zero evidence?

At least three of the sides don't look like anything that came out of packs in 1975. They have a distinct "paper cutter" look, although a different instrument may have been used. The angle of the cut is completely wrong. Even vending doesn't look like that.

Thanks for the rationale.

Michael -- is this common in your experience with Beckett-graded cards? I have heard rumors that they have graded lots of sheet-cut cards, whether knowingly or not.
