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

4 slabs have sold more than once, across 4 resales — typically 133 days apart, with a median gross price change of +29.4%. That is 4 of the 156 distinct slabs behind 167 cert-linked sales at this grade — 2.6%. 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.
