Memory Lane Redux?

Suppose I submit a bunch of cards and, within that run, a card gets rejected. I believe it gets assigned a cert. number. Is that number then available to be assigned to another legitimate card, or is it supposed to be "retired" for all time? IF at least some of these Goudeys from the second auction are in fact the same cards as from the first auction, and IF they in fact were resubmitted, I am looking for a logical explanation why they would have cert. numbers that were not in order and the only thing I can think of is that PSA took the occasion to reassign some old numbers that were available? Does that make sense? Of course I also don't understand why anyone would crack out high grade high dollar low pop cards to begin with (the Greenberg, for example, due to centering had zero chance of a 9).....
