Auction oddities: Using the PSA Auction Results site

[MCoxon]

I’ve searched this database and found that something like 70% of my purchases on relatively scarce items don’t show up (things like bazooka boxes where there are only 7-8 total listed over the past 5 years, and mine from the past few months are not)

Can you see the certification number and barcode in your first image? Do you put PSA in your title?

A clemente rookie graded psa 6.5 sold by Pietra cert #25244961 is CURRENTLY listed for 7499.00. The PSA database shows the same cert sold by the same seller on August 1 2017 for 7999.00 - a HUGE jump over Previous sales.

I don't put PSA in the search bar. Two specific examples are 1960 Morrrell Meats Koufax (PSA 6, purchased mid-2016 off eBay) and 1961 Morrell Meats Koufax (PSA 6, purchased mid-2016 off eBay). One was an auction, one was a best offer accepted; neither show up...

Oh, that's because they only have 1 year's worth of eBay sales at this time. They have some auctionhouse data that goes back much further. Maybe they can contract with worthpoint to get access to prior sales.
