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 CGC 10 to cover the CGC 9.5 buy plus the grading fee.
| Card | Set | CGC 9.5 | CGC 10 | Multiple | Gap | Break-even | Gem rate | Pop |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 Charizard & Braixen GX#022/236Holofoil | Cosmic Eclipse | $34.35 | $99.57 | 2.9× | $65.22 | 55% | 47% | 370 |
 Lickitung#090/147Reverse Holofoil | Aquapolis | $124 | $360 | 2.9× | $236 | 40% | 45% | 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 CGC 9.5 can come back lower.
