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

3 slabs have sold more than once, across 3 resales. That is 3 of the 41 distinct slabs behind 44 cert-linked sales at this grade — 7.3%. 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.
