I passed my tests Field Day of '92 but my ticket says it was granted 05/08/2012; the last date I renewed it. Is this SOP? I've been on the fringe of the hobby (listening) for the last 21 years but am now able to get back into it fully. Thanks.

The "Grant Date" is when that specific license was granted, not when your original license was granted. The "Grant Date" may be when you first got that license as a new ham or when you renew your old license. When you simply modify an existing license (e.g. upgrade to a higher class license), your existing license isn't cancelled and a new one issued, it's simply modified so the "Grant Date" isn't changed.
