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 48 distinct slabs behind 53 cert-linked sales at this grade — 4.2%. The rest we have seen sell once, which is not evidence they have not sold before.

Cert	Sales of this slab	Between	Gross change

#73930128	May 2026 $310→Jul 2026 $400	Under 3 months	+29.0%

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.
