- **Records**: `sale` per sold lot — hammer price GBP (`buyerPremiumIncluded=false`), sale date = catalogue date, full description (estimate split off into `metadata.estimate_low/high`), `identifiers.noonans_lot`, grade parsed from the description (NGC/PCGS/PMG or condition words), `isBundle` for multiple-piece lots.
- **Cursor**: `{ doneAuctions, inProgress: { auction, offset, totalLots }, done }`; backfill walks the catalogue list newest → oldest.
