I saw this image on reddit about a card repair:

Would PSA/others be able to detect that this card was repaired? See the [original thread here](https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemoncardcollectors/comments/1sxto1w/by_far_the_best_looking_repair_ive_done/)

Not something like that. The lift hasn’t caused a crease or any damage to the stock so they’d likely never know

No but tag “apparently ” can as someone was complaining on reddit that the system still flagged a similar repair and it still showed up with points deductions on ding report despite being invisible to human eyes

That said psa is already taking inbound scans so if they want to do any sort of ai assistance in the future its not much longer than an out of sleeve scan which they may switch to anyways as the in sleeve scans are partially useless anyway  
But it would require commitment to some stereoscopic imaging.

Nope, likely would pass fine unless there is some other alterations done
