Print on Demand - Add to Digital Collection?

Apologies if this is answered elsewhere, but I did search the FAQ, Google, and Reddit and couldn't find a firm answer. Thanks in advance for help.

My friends and I are trying to figure out how to approach collecting. Our first idea was to just go in together on buying booster boxes because we can then just POD cards that we want more of collectively.

However, I'm unclear on one point. If I get a card (non-unique) and scan it to the collection, then do a POD, will those POD cards have a unique QR code so I can then add them to my collection and have multiples digitally? Or would the POD have the exact QR code of the original and so to play in any official play you have to have scanned 3 copies of the card?
