    For those that are interested, I have attached a scan of an example.
    I am actively buying MIKE SCHMIDT gem mint baseball cards. Also looking for any 19th century cabinets of Philadephia Nationals. Please PM with additional details.

    Thank you for the information. I was going to ask if it was possibly an old style, but the number is not a low number so I thought that could not be the case.

    Then I have a related question. What is the progression of numbers that PSA has used? I see numbers that are 05XXXXXXX, 11XXXXXXXX, or 30XXXXXXXX, or 40XXXXXXXX, or 90XXXXXXXXX, etc.

    I recently had cards graded by PSA and they are 30XXXXXXXX. So this is the latest series of numbers. Why are the 40XXXXXXX, 50XXXXXXXX, 90XXXXXXX etc. number series earlier than this?

    I hope Spahnfan doesn't mind me adding his question to this thread!
    Does anyone know the answer to his question about number sequence. I haven't read a thread about the subject in the 2 years I've been around here. I don't have a clue about number sequence!

    Thank you all in advance,

    mx'er

    Mx'er, I think PSA specifically often changes the sequences and numbers so as to avoid any inference of a particular grade with the period that it is graded in. The only example of a large run of numbers that can be attributed to one individual/time period, I think, is from David Hall's collection...

    Here's what I've been told:

    RE: Serial #s on the cards. "No, the first 2 numbers don't correspond to graders and don't have anything to do with the toughness of the grade. Exception....cards that start with 08 are cards that have been graded at shows. These grades are about 1/2 higher on the card....customers pay more for the grades...grades are better (most of the time)."

    Take it or leave it, for what it's worth.
