Marks may average several sales or carry an older observation. The 12-month column compares monthly PSA 10 sale medians twelve months apart and needs at least three dated sales in each endpoint month — the counts stand beside every figure; a dash means fewer. The grade ladder beneath each one with its receipt, the PSA populations by grade, the live listings checked against the mark and the set index's constituents are on the desk.
