Slab history — PSA 9 copies that have sold more than once

2 slabs have sold more than once, across 2 resales. That is 2 of the 26 distinct slabs behind 30 cert-linked sales at this grade — 7.7%. The rest we have seen sell once, which is not evidence they have not sold before.

Cert	Sales of this slab	Between	Gross change
#40758688	Mar 2021 $400→Sept 2026 $18,895	Over a year	+4623.8%
#68866970	Feb 2025 $419→Sept 2025 $2,500	6–12 months	+496.7%

A cert reappearing shows the same physical slab sold again — it identifies no buyer or seller. Gross change is price to price; fees, shipping and the grading cost are not in it.
