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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 Bulbasaur#045/100Normal | Crystal Guardians | $29.99 | $261 | 8.7× | $231 | 19% | 19% | — |
 Gardevoir#004/106Holofoil | Emerald | $37.03 | $321 | 8.7× | $284 | 18% | 5.9% | 26 |
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.
