PSA Labels

MoRivera

From what I understand, the new PSA labels place the grade number below the condition. For example:

Gem Mt 10

is now

Gem Mt
10

However, I haven't seen any cards like this yet. Didn't PSA make the switch and label all their cards that way?

Yes. As of (I forgot the date), that is the new format.

thank you!
Another question, the PSA bar code. First, is the bar code a reflection of the serial number or the actual card. For example, do all PSA 6 1952 Topps Mantles have the same bar code? Second, what is its purpose? Are these bar codes scanable? Even if they are, why would there be a need to scan them?

EACH individual card graded gets it's own bar code.
If you have a bar code scanner and scanned the bar-code, you would get the serial number.
I run a business in which we have to make bar codes for some of our products, so I've actually scanned some of my cards bar codes into my "card spreadsheet"
I don't know why they put the actual bar code on the card. A serial number would seem to be sufficient.
