Grading Tools Question

What is the purpose of the black light for grading? I've tried using one and I can't tell that it does anything other than strain my eyes. image


Thanks,

David (LD_Ferg)

    I think they grade a card in about 5 seconds from what I heard. All the "secret" tools are useless. All about eye appeal and what mood your graders in.

    Also the 58 Yellow Letter cards. The Yellow's are much rarer and people have used marker to fill it in. There was a post about it over on net54 a few years back.

    I've always been curious how long they spend per card.

    Thanks for the response everyone.
