They create a new cert/label that has a symbol indicating the card not only has a cert number, but there's an associated photo with it.

Then they can charge people a nominal fee if they want to see a picture of the card on line. This way the TPG has the data base and nobody would be able to contest it. Dang, then someone would figure out a way to hack the database and put fake pictures in... it's the world we live in...
They already do that now Fred, PSA only does front and back scans but SGC also puts the date the card was graded. Here's PSA scans of the Cobb that the seller has listed it's one cert number below the Johnson but once they deactivated the Johnson you can't see the scans of that card anymore.
