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 28 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
#56301124	Dec 2025 $140→May 2026 $186	3–6 months	+32.9%
#25800441	Dec 2025 $61→Apr 2026 $150	3–6 months	+145.9%

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.
