• Primary public-marketplace sources eBay, MutualArt, StockX, and 1stDibs.
• Additional sale-record sources cited in product cards WorthPoint, Artnet, Artsy, LiveAuctioneers, public auction archives, ObeyGiant release records, and category-specific public sources where named.
• Projection and market-sizing references Global Growth Insights and similar market-sizing references may be used for broad category-growth context. Projections are not item appraisals.
• Internal workbook references Gauntlet consolidated comps workbook cuts are cited by review date, row count, source mix, price floor, and category filters on the page or product card where the data appears.

• Informational use only Market data is not financial, investment, tax, legal, appraisal, insurance, or resale advice. Past sales do not guarantee future value, liquidity, buyer demand, auction acceptance, or platform acceptance.
• Public-market data Published comps are drawn from public-record or public-marketplace records unless a page explicitly says otherwise. No private-sale data is included in the public financial charts.
• Medians and outliers Medians are used where possible so one trophy sale, distressed sale, or unusual lot does not define the entire category.
• Workbook cuts and dates The Financial Insights page currently cites the Jun 22, 2026 consolidated comps workbook, with public year-series charts filtered to priced sales at or above $90 and rows through Jun 15, 2026. Product financial cards may cite Jun 13, 2026 or May 2026 cuts; those card footnotes control the product-level source date.
• Counts can differ by page Sitewide summary counts, product-card row counts, and chart-specific row counts may differ because they use different category cuts, date cutoffs, source availability, rounding, and whether the count refers to a broad archive or the currently filtered workbook view.
• Category cuts Music is a keyword-based cross-artist cut, not a pure autograph-authentication index. Space/NASA is a broad space memorabilia cut; Apollo is a named subset. Banksy/Dismaland-linked comps are treated as event/provenance context unless Pest Control authentication is specifically stated.

• ROIReturn on investment; a way to describe gain or loss relative to the amount paid. Used only as market context on this site, not as a prediction or investment promise. Wikipedia overview.
• CAGRCompound annual growth rate; a smoothed annualized growth rate over a period. CAGR can hide volatility, so it should be read with row counts, date windows, and medians. Wikipedia overview.
• MedianThe middle value in a sorted set of sale prices. Gauntlet uses medians where possible because a single trophy result can distort an average. Wikipedia overview.
• Average / MeanA total divided by the number of records. Useful in some contexts, but more sensitive to outlier sales than a median.

• 5Y / 10YFive-year or ten-year window. The exact start and end dates depend on the product card, chart, or category footnote.
• P25 / P75Twenty-fifth and seventy-fifth percentile. These describe the lower and upper middle bands around the median, not a guaranteed resale range.
• CompsComparable sales; prior sold records used as context for pricing similar artists, editions, objects, or categories. Asking prices are not treated the same as sold comps.
• Comp Count / Row CountThe number of records included after a source, category, price, and date filter. Counts can differ across pages because the underlying filters differ.
• Price FloorA minimum sale-price threshold applied before calculating public charts. Example: the Financial Insights page filters public category sheets to sales at or above $90.
• Sell-Through RateThe share of offered lots or listings that actually sell in a defined marketplace, auction, or category window.
• Auction VolumeTotal reported sales value or activity over a defined period. It is category context, not a statement about the value of one object.

• PSA / PSA-DNAProfessional Sports Authenticator and its autograph-authentication service. Product pages should state the exact PSA certificate, slab, sticker, or lookup record included. psacard.com.
• Pest Control / PCOPest Control Office; the authentication body for Banksy works. Dismaland or Banksy-related material is not Pest Control-authenticated unless a page says so explicitly. pestcontroloffice.com.
• TrueCOAGauntlet's blockchain certificate verification layer where used. It records item details and supporting evidence but does not replace the physical object, physical inspection, or third-party certificate named on a product page. truecoa.com.
• Zarelli Space AuthenticationA specialist authentication reference often cited for astronaut signatures, flight-flown material, and space memorabilia where that chain is applicable.
• NFCNear-field communication; tap-to-verify technology used in some chips, tags, cards, or digital certificate systems. Wikipedia overview.
• QR LookupA scannable code that resolves to a certificate, issuer lookup, or record page. The linked record should match the physical item and documentation.
• Blockchain CertificateA digital record written to a blockchain or blockchain-backed system. It can support provenance and record integrity, but it does not guarantee future value or replace responsible custody.
• ProvenanceDocumented ownership, custody, or source history. Strong provenance is specific, traceable, and consistent with the object. Wikipedia overview.
• Chain of CustodyThe documented path an object follows from source to current owner, including transfers, certificates, receipts, or supporting records where available.

• Limited EditionAn edition with a stated total size, such as 44/115 or 34/100. The edition number should be read with condition, signature, documentation, and demand.
• Open EditionA release without a fixed numbered total at launch, or one sold for an open purchase window. Open edition does not mean fake; it means scarcity works differently.
• AP / A.P.Artist's proof; a proof impression or proof object outside the main numbered edition, depending on the artist and release. Wikipedia overview.
• H/CHors commerce; commonly means a proof or copy outside the regular commercial numbered edition. Usage varies by artist, publisher, and medium.
• PP / Printer's ProofA proof associated with printer review, production, or archival use. It should be evaluated against the specific artist and publisher context.
• Signed / NumberedA work bearing a signature and edition number. The value signal depends on authenticity, condition, edition size, medium, and whether the signature is hand-applied or printed.
• Screen PrintA printmaking process common in Shepard Fairey editions and many street-art releases. Wikipedia overview.
• ConditionThe physical state of an item, including handling marks, creases, fading, surface wear, frame condition, packaging condition, restoration, and completeness.

• Asking PriceA seller's listed price. It is not a sold comp until a transaction is completed and recorded.
• Public-Market RecordA sale, listing, auction result, or market record visible through public marketplaces, auction archives, or sale databases. Public records can still contain errors, duplicates, or incomplete metadata.
