Default I can't read card backs any longer

I am not exactly sure when this happened, as it certainly was gradually, but I am no longer able to read the backs of most cards without great difficulty and usually some sort of aid, such as bright direct light, moving the card an arm's length from my face and/or reading glasses. I am 46 now, so that is not unexpected by any means, but I have always had good vision in the past. Such is the aging process.

I have not yet succumbed to wearing reading glasses on a regular basis and really only need it for very tiny print. It is one of lives smaller problems I know, but it can be tricky trying to figure out what set a card comes from, especially newer cards.

I believe I now need a lighted magnifying glass to keep with my card sorting supplies!!
