Crack-and-resubmit opportunities: slabs trading far below the next grade up. Both prices are sale-backed. Break-even = the share of resubmissions that must hit PSA 10 to cover the PSA 9 buy plus the grading fee.
| Card | Set | PSA 9 | PSA 10 | Multiple | Gap | Break-even | Gem rate | Pop |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 Gyarados EX#123/122Holofoil | BREAKpoint | $406 | $3,188 | 7.8× | $2,782 | 22% | 16% | 1,460 |
 Dark Ampharos#002/109Holofoil | Team Rocket Returns | $191 | $1,501 | 7.8× | $1,309 | 23% | 8.6% | 36 |
Break-even uses each target grader's cheapest live service (PSA Regular, CGC Economy, BGS Standard), upcharged at the target value. A regrade is never guaranteed — a cracked PSA 9 can come back lower.
