Another PSA mess up? major card - AA to 5

The 90M number precedes the other two. The earliest PSA flips used odd number jumping for the cert numbers, but had those distinctive rounded corners on the flip. The AA was next, then the 5.

Ah, I see. Thanks for the clarification. Does anyone know why PSA skip numbered certs?

Some regions were set aside for when they do grading away from California, some for regions where their PSA/DNA autographed cards go. But at the beginning, they just weren't consistent. So a lot of the cards starting with 30M, 50M, 80M, 90M were all done like 20+ years ago, before they started going straight through the numbers. Once they got back to regions they already used, they had to skip them recently. Like three years ago or so, they were at 29,999,999 and then had to skip over their previously used region and started back at like 30,700,000 or whatever. Then they had to skip at 40M and will have to again at 50M, right around now. So they are filling in the gaps.

If you expected otherwise, you are a wonderfully optimistic person.

Wow! I can’t imagine Heritage won’t yank the card. What a joke.

I’m sure heritage will do the right thing and pull the card asap.
