Question about Raw Cards

I think I would like to try and send in some raw cards and hope (pray) for some 10's. Any suggestion for a good magnifying glass? Or you guys talk about a loupe, is that better? I hate being new to this crazy (and expensive) hobby. Hopefully someday I will be helping other newbies out.

    I hope your sending in shiny modern cards.


    If not, lower your expectations a little, hope for 9's. image


    Good luck!

    .....and be prepared for grades below your expectations, no matter what type equipment you are using......at least until you have become experienced with your card selecting

    Impossible!! They used up their quota of 5's on my last sub. My own fault - there were 10 that I included just based on low pops without a really thorough look at the edges for wrinkles.
