I have, as an example, a "2022 Panini Prizm Draft Picks Signing Sessions #92 Miguel Vargas" card.  The number on the back of the card is clearly labeled as "No. SS-MV".  No where on the card does #92 appear (front or back).  I even scanned the fine print with a magnifying glass.  I have encountered this situation quite a few times.  I will go ahead and catalog the card in my collection as #92 but will note in the comments that this number does not appear on the card.  I am really just curious where they get these numbers.  Are they just made up? Serialized? Are these numbers recognized as "official" in the hobby?

Fascinating. Thanks for the quick and concise response, Honorable Super Moderator and Wise One.

So that Panini site for Baseball only goes back to 2004.

Another example is that I have 1995 Upper Deck Crash the Game set numbered CR1-CR20.
Several sets of Crash for that year so that complicates things.
In the OPG, they are numbered 1-20 and say Exchange in the title but Exchange is not on the cards anywhere but the pics match up perfectly.

Searching for CR-1 through CR-20 does not produce any cards that match this sealed set.

I spent a lot of time just trying to find these 20 cards, this is just one of the many examples I have for the 20k cards input so far. Most match up, but the ones that don't are a pain.
Is there another site that shows these sets that Beckett gets its data from so I can save some time when this comes up?

Thanks,
Kevin

-Exchange means it was a redemption card, not going to be marked on the card itself
-Beckett gets the checklists from the manufacturer
-less is always better when searching such as 1995 Crash the game, then use filters on the left. In this case I believe you are talking about collector's choice made by upper deck.
