My "opion" ( sorry, couldn't resist) is that that grade looks pretty accurate. I could see it grading a 8.5 possibly, but I don't think a 9.
Shawn pointed out the chipping on the bottom border and that was the first thing I noticed too before I even read his comment. Also, looking at the back scan, there appears to be a top right corner ding.
Both of these could just be the scans playing tricks on our eyes. Either way, that is one sweet card! Congrats on a nice pick-up.
