I agree that advanced scans would eliminate a lot of the problems that we've all been reading about as of lately. Advanced scans would also give the collector a very good idea as to what kind of card he is looking at and make a lot of the flaws more visible. However, would advanced scans be able to spot certain alterations, such as pressing for example? Also, how can we see the thickness of a card? I always like to examine the thickness because I can sometimes tell if somebody pressed down the corners and edges.
Is there any special software required in order to view these advanced scans or can I just use Windows Photo Viewer? If I can use WPV, then can I PM you my email address? I would like to see how an advanced scan looks like.
Thanks
