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.

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.
