I guess there are some coloring agents that won't fluoresce, but UV light will glow most color added.

If you see any area of the card where maybe there looks like wear or damage that probably should have exposed the underlying paper/cardboard but it's still colored, that might be an area to suspect.

Do you have a cert number for it where there is an image? I always like looking for stuff that.
