Extensive trading card rarity controls and copy protection ensure collectible cards have and retain their value.
The Insetcards tools provide a great amount of control over the uniqueness of markings of the cards. Every card has its own unique set of numbers and codes, which may be used to indicate production run, collection set / promotion, and advertising company. The codes may be printed as numbers, characters, symbols, or pictures. Data driven codes are generated for each and every production run. The collectible cards are marked with sets of codes that are only producible with the correct algorithms (like credit card numbers).
The advertiser can choose to utilize any of multiple copy protection devices to make trading cards that can’t be replicated or imitated.
A registry service is available for collectors who want to verify the validity of an individual trading card.
