Added: the year an item first appeared, from the vendor’s own date where it gives one, else the first Internet Archive copy of its page; items with neither are counted under No earlier record. Retired: the last year the archive saw a page that is no longer listed, or the week the weekly check stopped finding it. Archive coverage is thin before 2021, so early years undercount.
