First PSA card graded?
I've seen several references recently to the Gretzky Wagner being the first card graded by PSA. I always assumed the 00000001 cert number was a trophy number for PR. For instance there is no 00000002 using the cert verification. Looking at historical ads in Old Cardboard you see a lot of nice cards with that old flip font and cert numbers below 1mm, ie; 01000001, 01000544, 01000840 etc. Confusing though because there are also cards with 90mm handles like 90000001 or 90363515. A few years ago there was a big deal when they graded their 20mm card and gave it a cert of 20000000. My recent subs are sequential and seem to be in line with that milestone. Anyone know for certain what the first card was or what the early numbering signified?
