Deduplicating on TCGplayer product id collapses 0 rows in this population. Prices are asks from the daily card tape `price_history` on epoch day 20719, 2026-09-23, a complete day carrying 52,378 priced products; the partial days 20704 to 20713 are not used. Population is PRODUCTS, not catalog rows: one row per TCGplayer product id where present, else the catalog id, ties broken to the lexicographically smallest catalog id. Graded figures are SOLD medians from `graded_snapshots`, latest day per card and grade, read across both the catalog-id and the product-id keyspaces and taking the fresher row, then dropping any surviving median dated before day 20695, the first day of the current daily graded tape, and quoted only where the sample is 2 or more. PSA figures are REGISTRY LINES from `population_snapshots`, latest day per key; many products share one line, so no per-set sum of them is printed. Medians are upper-middle on even samples. The set-value series `sethist2:` is not used anywhere in this study, so a /set/ page's own \"Full Set\" figure will not match these sums: that is two instruments, not an error. Release dates come from `api_cache` key `report:spread:setsmeta`; the four POP Series sets in this era have no recorded date there and are printed as \"not recorded\" rather than dated from memory. A card counts as carrying a graded median when its sample at that grade is 2 or more, the same bar the card pages apply, and \"no recorded PSA 10 sale\" means our tape holds no such comp, never that none exists. SHARED-KEY TEST: A recorded sold count above the registry's own count at a grade is NOT an impossibility: `graded_snapshots` counts SALES and `population_snapshots` counts graded COPIES, and a slab that resells is counted twice on one side and once on the other. What the ratio measures is recorded sales per graded copy, and only a large ratio is evidence that the graded key is pooling another product onto this card. The bar applied here is a DECLARED one, 2 recorded sales per graded copy, not a physical limit. A card is also dropped when two or more sales are recorded at a grade and the registry line records no copies at that grade, because the denominator is then unusable and our feed does not distinguish an absent grade breakdown from a real zero. WHAT THE TEST COULD BE RUN ON: 418 of the 1,949 priced cards carry a PSA 10 or PSA 9 sold median at the two-sale bar and all 418 carry a registry row, so the test is evaluable on every one of them and not evaluable on none. Eight cards fail it here and are removed before any graded figure is computed: over the bar, col1-28 at 3.00 sales per copy, pl2-29 at 3.00, pop6-17 at 10.67 and hgss2-78 at 3.67 on its PSA 9; and with no recorded copies at the graded grade, dp4-15, pl3-44 and hgss2-78 at PSA 10, col1-89 and pl3-SH7 at PSA 9. Every graded count in this study runs over the remaining 1,941 cards while every ask figure runs over all 1,949. A stricter bar of 1 sale per copy would remove 16 instead of 8, adding col1-27, dp6-91, pop6-15, pop8-10, pl3-26, pl3-27, hgss3-5 and hgss2-9, all of which sit between 1.14 and 2.00 sales per copy, a range a resold slab reaches on its own. Gem rates use `gemRateIsTrustworthy()` from @cardapp/core/server and require 50 or more submissions: 480 cards qualify, and an absent rate is excluded rather than counted as zero.
