Over time, you will notice the difference between a factory edge and a razored/filed one. Also, look at your graded cards with a loupe.

Congrats on your first time getting to touch one of your cards!

Matt,

Many thanks for the advice. I have a 16X that I took with me today. I was primarily looking to authenticate the card through looking at the printing process...chromolithography, if I am not mistaken.

As for the surface and edges, what should I be looking for?

Best,

Eric
