OT: Detecting Fake Cards Using iPhone Flashlight???
I have a buyer who purchased several cards from me. He is claiming that they are fake. I asked him why he thought that.
He said that he placed his iPhone flashlight behind the card and he can see the light. In my 20 years of selling cards, I never heard of that.
I disagreed with him because the high intensity light from the iPhone actually passes through many different sets depending on the card stock. I tried it myself on atleast a dozen different sets and saw that the light came through on most of the sets but not all.
The cards that he was claiming were fakes were from the 79-80 O-Pee-Chee Hockey Set, 81-82 O-PEE-CHEE Hockey set and the 64 Topps Baseball set.
Am I wrong?
