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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Vespiquen#11/98Reverse Holofoil | Ancient Origins | $34.01 | $99.93 | 2.9× | $65.92 | 114% | — | 2 |
Zapdos#044/147Normal | Aquapolis | $98.40 | $289 | 2.9× | $191 | 62% | 27% | 71 |



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.
