The data allows for a long-term view of price developments and market reactions. Individual years stand out due to exceptional surcharges, while others are notable for normalization or restraint. These fluctuations reflect less short-term demand than the symbolic significance of the auction at the beginning of the year, media attention, and strategic placements by individual buyers.

Incompleteness results from the source situation. Earlier decades are documented selectively, while more recent years are more dense and consistent. Where information is missing or differs, this is indicated.
