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 BGS 10 to cover the BGS 9.5 buy plus the grading fee.
| Card | Set | BGS 9.5 | BGS 10 | Multiple | Gap | Break-even | Gem rate | Pop |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Mewtwo V#072/78Holofoil | Pokémon GO | $135 | $697 | 5.2× | $562 | 24% | 49% | — |

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 BGS 9.5 can come back lower.
