Would someone be able to post a link or point me in the right direction as to where I could buy online a loupe or equivalent where I can measure T-B and L-R card centering - assistance greatly appreciated

Thanks

    Try this link

    They have a ton of loupes at decent prices.

    Ed, a six inch see-thru plastic Helix scale with 1/32" increments at one end will cost a couple or 3 bucks at your art supplies store; the 1/32" increments are more accurate than 1/16" inch breaks on a linen loupe.

    ED-

    Don't know if you're looking to measure centering for card grading purposes, but if you are you probably don't need to. PSA doesn't measure centering (nor do any of the other major grading companies, so far as I know), which means 'eyeballing' the card will do you as much good as measuring it.

    PSA does use loupes with measuring graduations in them to determine centering.

    No such details will spoil my plans...

    ED,
    don't buy what PRO uses !!!! their measurements are always off. you need something better than that.
