Just because it's currently viewable on a website doesn't mean it always will. I know one of the major auto companies lost like half of their certification database - Upper Deck?
So all of those cards/items have stickered cert numbers, but no way to validate them.

My recommendation: if you're depending on looking something up online to confirm it's authentic, make some screen captures or printouts to keep in a folder for when it comes time to sell. No telling what the future holds, like the new SGC Pop Report/Cert verification system not working properly.
