Investment scorecard

Momentum49Measured price direction: the median recorded sale of the last 4 months against the median of 8 to 12 months ago. 50 means flat; small samples are pulled toward 50.

Liquidity65How easily it sells: recorded sales in the last 12 months (300 or more scores 100) and eBay's 90-day sell-through rate.

Scarcity41Demand against supply. For modern pieces, how far the market sits above or below current retail, plus a lift if production has ended. For vintage, how rarely one comes up for sale.

Value entry29Where the latest quarter's median sale sits inside its own 3-year range. Buying near the low scores high; buying at the high scores low.

Condition safety79How safe a typical example is: the age of the design, plus how tightly sale prices cluster (a wide spread means condition and originality swing the price).

The story

The Santos 100 marked the Santos's 100th birthday in 2004: a big, chunky case with exposed screws and a leather strap.

It was replaced by the 2018 Santos, and its resale price has settled well under the newer model.

Our verdict: Sells for about 40% under its $7,000 last price. 31 recorded eBay sales in the last 12 months, with prices flat over the year.
