Default Would the Hobby welcome a new TPG Co.that was high tech?

For aboyut the last 6-7 yrs I have had an idea on how to stop isues with TPG's and some of the fraud we see taking place by people. It has only been in the last few yrs that the technology has came about to build a format and the software I need to properly do this. Actually the technology has been around just way to expensive for people to afford. I would love to build this system and start grading cards based on what technology says and not what opinions are. This is kinda what I have planned and would love to hear feedback about what you guys think since we all here care more than most about our great hobby.

Authentication will be done by several people that are very knowledgeable and then passed to Analist once the item has been deamed ok.

The card will be viewed and blacklighted under a high resolution scan and posted to a large screen for grading. The scanning process will identify a minimum of 20 unique characteristics and give the card a so called finger print(This can be used and cross referenced by the hobby to verify the item in a case is the one thats supposed to be there, or if it has passed through the system and cracked out to be altered the person has proof the card in question is the one that was graded and is altered). The great thing about identifying all the issues is it helps in the accuracy of grading the card itself and creating a very accurate pop report.

Also a service for raw cards will be available. A lot of collectors prefer raw cards and for a very minimal fee compared to grading you can have the peace of mind that the cards you sell raw are clean and documented as such. Idea for them would be to encolse them in a semiridged card saver with a cert # embossed onto them. A simple scan and upload for comparison is all that needed to verify its the correct card.

If using a smart phone app is something I am looking at so you can do a scan and verify on site. Yes the cards will be removable because whats the point in sealing them up to a raw collector.

There is a lot more to go with all of this but thats just a brief summary of what I am thinking.


Would any of you guys use this service or think there is a need for it?
