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

5 slabs have sold more than once, across 5 resales — typically 91 days apart, with a median gross price change of +35.9%. That is 5 of the 33 distinct slabs behind 40 cert-linked sales at this grade — 15.2%. The rest we have seen sell once, which is not evidence they have not sold before.

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.
