1996-97 Score Hockey Forum

Has anybody tried to use a filter in Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro to reveal whether we have a "winner" card.... i.e. replicate the purpose of the old authenticator tool?

If so, what filter settings did you use?

Never mind.... this has a reliable visual shortcut that works.

On the non-sample Golden Blades cards, the code block is twice as tall as the example shown, but the key part to look for seems to be in the bottom half of the block.

All my Golden Blades appear to be non-winners by this simple detection method, as are my Sample cards, while all my punched cards are winners, as one would expect.
