raw cards

Do any of y'all feel confident enough to judge for yourself whether a car has been doctored using magnifying glass, black lights, rulers Etc

I think most of the folks on this board would make a routine purchase (50-100 or so) without a loop, lack light or ruler. But most folks here have collected more than a decade or two. I seldom buy graded, because I think it's a rigged game. I do get fooled every once and a while. I made a mistake on an $90 altered card recently that had had a solvent used on it that I had not seen before, but the guys on the board called my attention to it. Did I mention it was a graded card?

Absolutely, especially with all that.

Now many autos... no sir, not yet.

Yes, on almost any card without any of that. Some of the more obscure issues would be a bit of a challenge, but over time you get a feel for what's "right" and what isn't. With the magnifier etc I'd be more confident.
