Breed-only definitions can vary a little depending on who you ask, especially for markings. But in general it means anything that cannot be directly applied with a specific applicator. So it includes all of tier 2 markings, some of tier 3 (the July celestial raffle markings etc), tier 4 (rosettes), some of tier 5 (hybrid markings), and some people would also include tier 6 since the chance of getting the specific RMA marking you want is pretty minuscule, so they're more or less BO in effect. The wiki section here includes details of each tier, as well as links from there to pages with lists of all markings and how they're categorised. Importing a lion to wardrobe is also the quickest way to check their marking tiers.

Breed-only lists for other aspects are simpler - e.g. skin, eyes, base, etc. The wiki has pages of comprehensive lists, with categories for each, and again BO is basically anything that cannot be applied. Sometimes it's just a case of using Ctrl+F to find the one you want to check each time, and you'll probably find you gradually remember more of them and won't need to look up nearly as much!

As for cost, there are tons of factors that affect it - not just whether they have breed-only traits and how many. Stats, heritage, overall appearance, age, etc can all make a difference. There are a few guides around where people try to give general pricing rules, but tbh I personally just don't feel they're worth bothering with, because they're way too arbitrary. I don't think they're generally at all accurate to start with, and they get even less so as time goes on. Lion values can fluctuate a lot, because there's always new things being added and older things losing value as they become more common.

Obviously ymmv, but at the very least I'd say take any general lion pricing guide that gives rules e.g. adding x amount of SB to the value of a lion for each particular thing, or exact values for specific bases, with a huge pinch of salt. The total price you end up calculating from them may often be far from a realistic value anyone would actually pay for that lion in the TC...

Really by far the best way to figure out reliable pricing in my experience is by watching lion trades in the TC (such as whether they get bought out quickly, or cancelled, or expire). Plus comparing similar lions, keeping a regular eye on the market, and trial and error to see what does or doesn't sell :)
