Oh man, FINALLY
I've been trying to get one of these since I lost an auction on one about.....probably 8-9 years ago now.

Funny part is I have one that I'm POSITIVE will grade out at a 9.5 and just haven't submitted it yet, then this popped up. To submit or not submit the other one now, lol........
Why was I jonesing for this one so bad? Because in my youth and prime collecting days of the early-mid 90's, this card was like the pinnacle of Emmitt cards, a holy grail per se. I ALWAYS wanted one, and never could afford it (remember in the early 90's these were worth $200+ easy).

Awesome snag! Might as well send the other in!
Emmitt was who I collected back in the early 90s too, I'd have poo'd my pants if I pulled that!

Congrats! That is a long wait. If the centering is better on your raw card I would for sure have it graded.
