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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 Team Magma's Rhydon#11/95Holofoil | Team Magma vs Team Aqua | $116 | $1,222 | 10.5× | $1,106 | 16% | 12% | 38 |
 Mareep#067/109Reverse Holofoil | Team Rocket Returns | $131 | $1,378 | 10.5× | $1,246 | 15% | 55% | 24 |
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.
