Is Rich Mueller of Sports Collectors Daily a member here? SCD is one of the more honest publications in our hobby, and with these mountains of evidence could write a great article. He's written on the T206 autograph scandal uncovered by Net54.

How does BGS not pick that up! The card didn't shrink just 1/64th of an inch. Like...do these companies no pull out a digital caliper?

There has to be a table top double sided scanner that is able to digitally analyze width and height, and over time, develop a standardized height/width dimension X standard deviations away. If your X standard deviations away from the norm, scanner automatically detects the trimming. Problem fricking solved.

Have this scanner literally do 100s of cards at a time to also assess centering, program it to detect corner wear on a 0-100% sharpness scale, and edge wear on a 0-100% crisp scale. Only thing a grader has to do is visually inspect the surface and put the card on the slab machine.
