A CLOSER LOOK

One label. Two ways to look.

Black-light imagery is a digital preview. Physical ink, fluorescence and inspection performance still require production testing.

Front and back. The same sequence.

The centered number on each label represents completion order within the exact card, variation and grade—not the current population total. A unique certification serial separately identifies the individual graded card.

A sequence is not a serial number.

00001 represents the first completed grading in the exact card, variation and grade sequence. It is not a print run, a manufacturer rarity, or the first card graded company-wide. Each exact card, variation and grade has its own sequence, beginning at 00001. Some legacy artwork still uses a four-digit demonstration number; the approved sequence format is 00001.

The unique certification ID identifies one physical graded card across all of LORE. The planned production workflow will assign numbers after final grading and retain them for authorized label reprints. Production numbering and printer integration are not connected yet.

Submission order does not guarantee a specific number. A lower sequence number does not guarantee resale value.
