For each Product, determine how liquid each PSA Grade is — both relative to the card's own grade distribution and in absolute terms — so the Opportunity Score can distinguish between a real buying opportunity and a deal on a grade nobody actually trades.
Concept
Grade Liquidity Share: the fraction of a Product's total eBay sold volume at a specific PSA Grade over the Sold Comp Window.
Two dimensions both matter:
Relative share — how does this grade's volume compare to the card's own distribution? (e.g. PSA 10 = 85% of volume vs PSA 7 = 2%)
Absolute floor — a card with 3 total sales spread across grades is not liquid at any grade, regardless of distribution
Examples
Card
PSA 10 share
PSA 7 share
Signal
High-rarity card
25%
20%
Volume distributed → any grade is tradeable
Mid-rarity card
85%
2%
Volume concentrated → PSA 7 is illiquid, avoid
Any card with ≤ N total sales

—
Absolute floor not met → no grade is liquid
Design notes
Exact thresholds (absolute floor count, share threshold for "liquid" vs "thin" vs "illiquid") require data calibration from real eBay sold history — do not hardcode
Output: a liquidity label or score per grade (liquid / thin / illiquid) derived from the two dimensions above
