Apparently there is no broad thread on this, so I'll start one here.

But first, what constitutes a fancy serial number? I think we can all agree on radars, repeaters and ladders, but what else would you consider "fancy"?

I don't have any that qualify as "fancy," but this is my reference for what qualifies:

Back in 2011, Dave Undis also wrote an article for Paper Money going through the math to show how rare the fancy serial numbers he lists on his website are.

In addition to the numbers that Dave lists, PMG will also pedigree:

Rotator Serial Number
A serial number that doesn't change if read upside down. The only numbers that can be used are: 0s, 1s, 6s, 8s, and 9s.

Million Serial Number
A serial number with a digit 1 through 10 followed by six zeros.

Personally, I'm not a fancy number collector and only have a couple of RADARs that I've shown previously in other threads

Maybe we could use ebay as a reference...

I wondered how long it was going to take to start this topic after the recent post in the "Almost a Fancy SN" topic.

I would have started it if I had anything close to a fancy SN in my collection.

This thread is going to make me . Excellent notes already and I'm sure this is just the tip of the iceberg.

If you like 8's or 9's you might like one of these.

Not sure if this is fancy or an "almost" fancy, but here's another for those who like 9's -
