Slab history — PSA 10 copies that have sold more than once

1 slab has sold more than once, across 1 resale. That is 1 of the 12 distinct slabs behind 13 cert-linked sales at this grade — 8.3%. The rest we have seen sell once, which is not evidence they have not sold before.

Cert	Sales of this slab	Between	Gross change
#54957831	Oct 2025 $220→Aug 2026 $447	6–12 months	+103.2%

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.
