This industry first service innovation is a useful resource to any collector of cards, packs or any item submitted to Global.

Deception Scale Rank
| Rating | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 |
Poor | Rank 1 items contain several easily detectable signs, and should not present a problem for the informed collector. |
|
Minor | Rank 2 deceptions appear decent at first glance, but are still very identifiable. |
|
Moderate | Rank 3 deceptions have identifiable signs, but are somewhat sophisticated. |
|
Clever | Rank 4 deceptions are rather well crafted and may contain only one or two telltale signs. |
|
Devious | Rank 5 deceptions are near-perfect and would fool anyone but the most discerning and well informed buyer. |
