You can send any PSA card in for a reholder and it will have both the new holder and new flip, but it will retain the same cert number. It could have been graded 2 years ago or 20, as long as it passes a once over to confirm the assigned grade is still within reason it gets reholdered with the new pair.

Theoretically, yes, you can pinpoint when a card was graded by the cert number, and to some extent to style of the flip.

Thanks guys.

That makes a lot of sense now seeing that the card I posted above is graded a 4.

Imo, and based on what I have seen since joining, that card, if it was sent in raw nowadays, would be lucky to get a 1.5 or 2?
