Already have a PSA 9?

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.

Chance the resubmission comes back a 10 %

Cracking pays if that chance is at least 6.0%. At 15%: +$127 versus selling the 9 for a net $225.

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.

Before you set your odds: what a PSA 10 needs

CenteringAbout 55/45 to 60/40 or better on the front, 75/25 on the back.
CornersFour sharp corners with no rounding or fraying.
EdgesNo whitening or chipping, especially on the back.
SurfaceNo scratches, print lines, dents or holo wear under a light.
