Default serial checks

Posted By: Jim VB

I'm not overly familiar with the procedures of the grading companies. Can you really check sequential numbers? I always assumed they had a system in place to prevent this.

When most companies number things for record keeping purposes, they use a mathematically generated "check digit" for the last number. This puts the second to last digit as the sequential one, but makes a random check impossible. Have the grading companies never figured this out?
