PSA 10s sell highest for this card. CGC has the most sales, 108. The verdict uses PSA. A price far out of line with PSA is held back until it is checked.
Crack it and send the raw card again, or sell the 9 as it is. A miss pays a second grading fee and usually comes back a 9 again.
Cracking pays if that chance is at least 11%. At 15%: +$30 versus selling the 9 for a net $125.
A card that graded 9 once is less likely to get a 10 than a fresh copy, so set this lower than you would for one. Cracking a slab can also damage the card.
