I'm not sure why you would bring up invisible ink, which may have been state-of-the-art in the 1950's, but is hardly a candidate for use now. But, I think the TPGs will have to come up with a reliable/affordable approach to ear-marking every card as it is graded so that it can never be submitted for grading again without being identified. If that can be done by just saving digital images and training a computer to check each card against the data base, good. But if it requires the insertion of a permanent marker in the card, collectors will have to accept that approach as the lesser evil. If it turns out invisible ink is best, so be it. Not the way to bet though, IMO.
