Price history

Every Normal sale we've read, grouped by when and for how much they sold, with the fair value line through them. Hover a day or week for what sold; the legend adds the other conditions. Past today is the forecast.

The line is fair value over time, from sales only, ending at today's. Bubbles group sales that sold close together, sized by how many: solid ones count toward fair value, hollow ones were left out. The strip along the bottom counts sales.
