These examples are actual serial numbers, as well, and are only one example of the randomness of Carvin's serial number schema, especially from 1995 to the present. Guitars and basses prior to 1970 did not have serial numbers. 1970 was the first year, and the serial number sequence began with 5000 (versus something like 0001).

Knowing the VIN of a classic car is similar to knowing whether a painting is a Picasso or not. To art collectors, the authenticity of the painting is based on whether it was really by the painter they fancy. They cannot afford to have a replica—not only are they wasting money intended for the original—because the mistake also decreases their reputation among their circles. The same goes for classic or vintage car collectors. But it is hard to trace a car’s history when it is more than fifty years old.

This is where knowing a car’s VIN is germane. Knowing a car’s VIN number, the history of the conveyance and ownership, care and maintenance and major modifications affect a car’s intrinsic value. For book collectors, the first ever publication of the book is where the book gets its value. The first printed edition is the most expensive. For car collectors, what makes a car more valuable than its original purchase price is that nobody produces that model anymore. The price even goes higher when the car is “limited edition,” only a few produced for those who ordered it or for the selected few who can afford it. Sometimes a car’s value could be worth more because it was owned by somebody prominent or famous or was part of a movie.
