I'm still trying to figure out how to find these types of issues. If it really difficult when buying online.
Not trying to hijack the thread but figured this was relevant. I'd be happy to delete at the OP's request.

Hold the undoldered card face at a nearing 180 degree angle to a light source, such as a desk lamp and change the angle a bit back and forth. Many ink such ups, erasure marks, etc will show up with this test. The difference in tone/color and/or gloss will show up. Also, as ink is often added to touch up the chipped or touched borders, check the thickness/edge of the card. Sometimes the pen went off the edge and appears on the thickness.
