I'm into printing, and making passable proxies of things longs past, or iterating them to be something different. I've made my own trading cards for a small beans racing series, just to hand out to fans and drivers, 'cause it's neat. I make my own knockoff Pogs, the milk lid game.
This hobby has nothing to do with my job. I'm just a guy who thinks stuff like this is fun. From my perspective, if you're spending half a million dollars on cards, and before you bought them, you didn't know about the printer dot thing, you need to work on something. You need to work on impulse control, or time management, or something. If you buy a home, something else that costs a deep six digits, and the contractors you're buying it from say they had it inspected, and it passed - you still ask to hire your own home inspector. If they say "Ooh, no, we don't allow it" you don't buy it. You go "Haha I can tell you like candy 'cause you think I'm a sucker", then give 'em the L on your forehead as you walk backward out of the office, bumping into the door frame as you make your exit.
The printer dots are one of the most rudimentary things to check when verifying high dollar cardboard. I can not fathom this behavior. Lordy loo. It is beyond me to spend half a million dollars on something people can print home and miss the obvious printer dot test.
I saw a YouTube video on this yesterday, tbh the first thing I was thinking was, wouldn't you get suspicious with how many copies of prototypes were released? Like how many copies of one pokemon of the same print do you need to test a deck which at max can have 4 copies of the same card (IIRC from my childhood). Also the signature being cut off weird was a huge tell imo.
