What's with the barcode?

Anyone know why there's a barcode on the PSA flip? My guess is that it is used for generating the packing list, but that's just a guess.

    I'm sure it is used for internal controls, data generation and in-house tracking. Also, several of the auction houses and larger retailers use them to auto-populate data tables and auction listings.

    You need to look again at the SGC flips. PSA's current barcode is the certification number of the card. For tracking and logging purposes shooting it with a barcode reader eliminates the human error that will occur when entering the serial number manually.

    I stand corrected . . . And sadly, it's been there all along. Tsk, tsk, tsk . . .

    Has anyone ever tried scanning the barcode on a PSA slab with a barcode scanner?

    Set Registry V2 gives the option of using a bar code scanner to enter cards into your inventory.

    Thanks for that info. I'll have to pick one up, it will save a lot of trouble.
