Default There's a New Grading Service in Town! PSA LookOUT
Posted By: Dave

According to the PSA-DNA website, you make a scan at 72 pixels per inch. Make this a jpeg (compression not specified) and send it to them. They do their software magic, and give you the answer. They don't register the card until they get your money. The buyer can make his own scan, and have it verified. Much like a fingerprint.

If each pixel is 1/72 of an inch, and you magnify 1600 times, each pixel is slightly larger than 22 inches on a side. Maybe it's easier to count lost ones that way.

Someone is yanking PSA's chain, and doing it pretty well.
