From a google search....among other things...Code128 types are for alpha-numeric, all ASCII characters and used world-wide; interleaved2of5 are numeric only encoding digits in pairs |
Turns out PSA uses interleaved2of5 type for their barcodes. So the Ebay flip with the barcode using code128 type is bogus, which is pretty much what we've decided within this thread anyway.
So when checking barcodes against cert numbers, make sure the barcode not only matches the cert number but it is also of type "interleaved2of5".
