How we compute each section

References on each chart link down here. More notes will land as new sections grow.

1. Price history

#1.1 · Grade buckets
Each seller publishes their own raw condition labels (e.g. "Excellent+", "Like new minus", "Bargain"). Those are normalized to a small bucket set: mint, excellent, good, fair, poor, and unknown. The "Latest pricing by source" table above shows both the raw label and the normalized bucket so you can audit any individual mapping.
#1.2 · Missing days
A point is only drawn on a day when a snapshot existed for that (source, grade) pair. Lines connect across gaps so a series with sparse sampling still reads as a single trend, but absence of a point does not mean a stockout: it means we didn't see a listing at that grade that day.
#1.3 · Color encoding
Hue carries the source: terracotta = mpb, sage = keh, cobalt = B&H, honey = ebay. Lightness within a hue carries the condition: darker means a better grade (mint and excellent are darkest; poor is lightest). The dashed ink line is launch MSRP, included as a reference even though it isn't a price observation.
