Loupe Question

jad22

I was curious if any of you use a loupe and what magnification do you find to be the best? Is there a better way to view cards closely? Sorry if this has been posted before. Thanks

I do not use one, but it seems to me that I have heard mentioned of people using a 10x loop.

Mine is a 4x and a 10x. Also make sure you get yourself a halogen desk lamp. ($10 at your local Target)

I use one and many times I still have difficulty seeing much difference between many PSA 10s and 9s. Sometimes when I've upgraded a card in a PSA Registery Set from a PSA 9 to a PSA 10, I swear that sometimes the PSA 9 looks better than a ten!

Maybe one card was graded years "before or after" the other, or just a difference of opinions between different graders, or maybe one grader used a "10x loop" and the other grader didn't? Who knows?
