Hi,
I find myself wanting to do something similar with my dcd continuations. Once the structure is loaded into memory (i.e. load the psf if you have it, or load one pdb then go to Molecule/Delete Frames to avoid duplication of coordinates), the one-liner I settled on for this (which should work for any set of files of the form {name}{number}.{extension}) looks like:
foreach i [lsort -dictionary [glob *.pdb]] {mol addfile $i}
Note that the -dictionary flag is necessary to force it to count 1, 2, ... 10, 11 rather than 1, 10, 11, 2, ...
Cheers,
Tristan

So, you should be able to use "animatepdbs" from Tk Console of VMD like this:
source animatepdbs.tcl
animatepdbs 1 3 "%d.pdb"
Replace "3" with the number of pdb files in your folder.
Try that and let us know if you get any error.
