Ryan I think this is a product of the card trading too soon after that first sale you noted. I have noticed a pattern for a long time- that if there is a recorded sale out there of a specific card/serial number, and its trades again the same year or within a year- often times the second go round struggles to reach the first sold number. Especially on 5k and above card. Cards like these should be held at least 2 years or so if the intention was to resell on a public platform. Private sale is a whole different ballgame- timetable doesn't matter as much IMO..
