Any recommendations for loupes or black light/UV for card usage?
 
Hey guys. I'm looking to buy these items in the near future and wondered if anyone has used them and what they're opinions are for brands, size, etc.

Any help is appreciate.

I have a few different magnifying utensils. I have an 8x big magnifying glass and a few loupes which go from 10x-20x. I suggest getting a lighted one that goes from 5x-20x, or in that range. Most of them will do the job, imo....and aren't expensive relatively speaking. I probably wouldn't spend more than around $20-$30 on one. Good luck

All black lights that give off longwave ultraviolet give off the same light. They just come in different models and styles. Pick whichever one you want, including the cheapest.
