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

1 slab has sold more than once, across 2 resales. That is 1 of the 2 distinct slabs behind 4 cert-linked sales at this grade — 50%. The rest we have seen sell once, which is not evidence they have not sold before.

#43447146	Nov 2019 $35→Sept 2020 $18→Nov 2020 $45	Under 3 months	+28.6%

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.
