Detecting Altered Cards with AI

AGS AI models detect:

trimming

recoloring

surface polishing

press marks

heat flattening

chemical cleaning

fiber disruption

How Detection Works

Pixel-level edge pattern analysis

Corner geometry comparison

Fiber structure deviation

Gloss vs texture mismatches

Surface reflectivity anomalies

Layer separation analysis

AI doesn't “guess.”

It compares physical measurements vs. natural patterns.

This is where machines heavily outperform humans.
