The biggest problem I have with the inner sleeve that Bvg cards are sealed in isn't because it's tough to get a good scan. The biggest problem is when a card is placed snug in between two pieces of a plastic sleeve there will still be some sort of movement. Minimal at best, but still it will shift.
I have seen many a Psa card in a baggy slab that has left a residue from the surface of the card on the sleeve just by being pressed together for an extended amount of time, and when the card shifts, even if it's slight you can see surface loss from the card on the sleeve itself.
The longer the card is in that baggy and pressed together on that card the more luster it will take off the surface. I'm sure others have seen this issue before.
This system might work fine with todays shiny stuff that have glossy finish's but another alternative should be in place to preserve pre war cards that have a much more sensitive surface finish.
