Yep, pretty sure that's the line....

This could be interesting though. If this AI does what is claimed (I know it's a huge IF), this could be yet another boom for PSA. If the AI can legitimately spot altered cards, I would think there would be a huge premium for cards in "Post AI" slabs. PSA would get to (charge to) re-slab every card currently in a PSA holder with no cost to them except the cost of the new holder.

Maybe that's the plan to financially cover the PSA Guarantee on already slabbed, altered cards?

If this can REALLY detect trimming a whole lot of folks are not going to be happy. Kiss those gem rates goodbye.

I don't collect graded cards but it sounds like a whole bunch of blah, blah, blah.
Doesn't happen that often? They obviously don't visit the blowout forum. LOL.

Does anybody actually think PSA is going to remove cards from the system that they've already F'd up on?

Also, I'm reading this as the program takes a finger print of a card when it first goes through the PSA system, so as to catch any alterations, the 2nd time it goes through the system in crack and resubmits.

Not a lot of mention of alterations done to raw cards or coming from other graders.

We'll see how it goes, but for some reason the word "synergy", keeps on blaring in my head, over and over and over again.

Gotta start somewhere I guess.
