Crossover Question & Opinions Wanted

[YazFenway08]

first, i have never crossed over a card in my life

second, i tend to prefer SGC for my collection.

this Fisk o-pee-chee rookie is the card in question.

it’s a PSA 9 OC.

when i “measure” this, i get it at somewhere between 70/30 and 70/25 left to right. top to bottom and the back look good to me.

first question: is this really so OC to the point of triggering the qualifier? if it had shaggy edges like other o/pee-chee not sure it was have gotten this but not sure

second question: i have all my fisks in SGC 8. i know that often we say a qualifier drops two grades if you don’t use the qualifier, so this would be a “7”. if it’s a “9” otherwise, would this is have a realistic shot at getting an “8” with SGC of i looked to cross it?

third questions: would i be better off to crack it and submit it raw if this was my goal to get a “8” at SGC?

just wanted to solicit some opinions to help me decide if it’s worth the gamble. not exactly a huge cost issue either way, but no need to just throw money away if not realistic.

thanks in advance
