But suddenly under the machine they can see a flaw "inside" the cardboard stock? Sorry that's BS.
I certainly hope you're right, because my latest SGC submission of less than super expensive cards is on the way back, and I don't want them to get screwed over due to invisi-bullsh*t.

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.
