A black light is easy to use and will identify half or more than half of modern reprints and counterfeits. As the percentage shows, a collector shouldn't and can't rely solely on a black light in authentication and fake detection, but it is a great tool, especially for cards you're unfamiliar with. Looking at the printing, hands on experience, knowing what to look for for specific issues, etc are also important.
