Thanks for sharing.

Interesting. How repeatable is the machine score? For example, if you ran the analysis 5 times, does the same machine score always appear?

Especially with a different input image of the same card.

So is this looking mostly at colors or is it somehow looking a three dimensional attributes - say an indentation in the card?

Also, are the detractions things that would have been present on Day 1 - when it was pulled from a pack in 1982 or are they generally things that happened to the card during the ensuing 38 years?

BTW, I really like what you are doing here.

This is why you always add the information to the long thread already about this... maybe Leon can merge them?

I'm adding in the easier sub-grades this week but I thought some of the folks here would get a kick out of seeing a machine grade the surface of the cards even though its in a basic command line right now...

That's the way!!!! Very nice. Hope it makes a splash and can take into account trimming and toluene baths someday?
