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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 Dark Pupitar#040/109Reverse Holofoil | Team Rocket Returns | $164 | $2,377 | 14.5× | $2,213 | 13% | 49% | 40 |
 M Altaria EX#121/124Holofoil | Fates Collide | $61.58 | $895 | 14.5× | $833 | 16% | 30% | 428 |
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.
