Posted By: <b>Todd (nolemmings)</b><p>Hello. I'm trying to find a nice, preferably cheap black light and 40 to 100x magnifier to help detect trimming and alterations on vintage cards. Any national chains or decent deals out there that you folks can share? any help appreciated. Todd

Posted By: <b>Eric Angyal</b><p>I bought a black light from Rob Craik for about $30 and I am happy with its performance. It will identify items that have been touched up with white out, bleach, magic marker, etc.<BR><BR>Eric

Posted By: <b>BcD</b><p>Craik bought the light from me. I will sell you one for $12.00 and I can find you the loup you need which is much lower power but corrected for curvature which is what you really need!!! write me for details...<BR>Cardknowledge@earthlink.net

Posted By: <b>David Rudd</b><p>If you can get your hands on a nice 40X to 100X handheld microscope at a good price, I'd recommend you get one and you will find it usefull. But I agree with Brian that a good loupe or magnifying glass is best for detecting trimming.
