Help me understand this one.. PSA consecutive cert #s.. Same card? PWCC History
 

I was looking to buy a 52 Topps Mays PSA 4 and possibly found one on Facebook. Cert # 51599974. Then I noticed a listing on ebay yesterday, 52 Mays PSA 4 - cert # 51599971. The 2 cards look identical. Then I went on PSA website and looked up the #s in between. They are all 52 Topps Mays PSA 4 and they are look extremely similar. They all have PWCC history too…

Maybe this is normal.. maybe there’s a reason.. Just seeing if this has popped up before.

It's unusual, but not impossible. I suspect a major collector/dealer submitted a large order with multiple copies of the same card, likely obtained from the same source. They would naturally be graded sequentially. There is enough difference in the left-right centering to say they're all unique cards (though I agree they are remarkably similar)

+1 agree although PWCC coincidence does not give me confidence. Lol

Valid point. Trust and PWCC don't often appear in the same sentence.

They look identical, but they are not.. looks like someone either put 4 nice copies from the same print run in together or someone put 4 fakes in

Just four different authentic NM cards all with bad centering submitted in a row, IMO. It's only luck that PSA gave them each PSA 4s.

Thanks everyone. Just thought it was strange. One of the 4 is clearly different. The others are super close but I suppose there could be some slight variation there.

I've found runs of 20 or more cards on occasion. same card different grades though most were the same... I was thinking subs from a vending box/case.

Imagine a case of 52 Topps. :eek:;):D
