So technically, if my great-grandma was born in the year of our LORD 1906, the org. would sue her because she used the trademarked number?!?

Hey All I am telling you is what is. The 1906 is TM by ownership of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Incorporated. Any paraphanalia holding that in Black and Gold is trademarked to the Fraternity. See
http://www.alphaphialpha.net under vendors and look up vendor contracts. All I can say is General Presidents of Alpha took time to protect a lot of items. Also anyone can use 1906 but they cannot use it as a sell item. ie anyone can sing happy birthday but the song is trademarked and if you sell something on it it must be approved by the owner of the trademark.
