Educated guess. 20/20 vision isn't the key. In fact some of the toughest surface wrinkles to spot won't even be found under magnification in regular light. The UV (black) light makes it stand out instantly. IMO, some of these surface wrinkles that are so minute and so difficult to even see in white light aren't worthy of dropping a card instantly from "Mint" to "Excellent", but that's the standard established by th grading companies (like it or not). That's why the adage of "buy the card and not the holder" is so true; especially in cases such as this.
