I'd like to think that they never slab a card until after they have hit the card with black light... but that presupposes that they'd know how to turn on and off the black light, and what to look for while shining ultra violet light on a card. A first grader could do it, if they could keep their hands grime free... maybe a PSA grader could be taught.


Truthfully, maybe some of you guys should consider gradually giving up on graded cards, registries, and such.
Many people can't work for very long with UV. Enough exposure without protective eyewear can cause long term damage.
I wouldn't expect a grading company to use UV more than occasionally.
