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

4 slabs have sold more than once, across 4 resales — typically 340 days apart, with a median gross price change of +192.5%. That is 4 of the 10 distinct slabs behind 14 cert-linked sales at this grade — 40%. The rest we have seen sell once, which is not evidence they have not sold before.

Cert	Sales of this slab	Between	Gross change

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.
