/"Just maybe others licensed in 80 - 89 have changed their checks?"/
Actually, it's a know fact that _some_ operators change their check to
try and thwart the "appliance contesters" out there. :-)

There MAY be another phenomenon re 1980's checks...
(Daughter) K3MIM was initially licensed in 1989 (as KA3UBJ).
When starting 'serious' SS/SSB (from the W3LPL dx-contest station) she
found "89" generated a lot of repeat requests.
So she changed to "08", the year she got K3MIM (or maybe her Extra).
Now she gets some "sure it's not '89'?" questions :-)
Just maybe others licensed in 80 - 89 have changed their checks?
