I agree..I use an Ultra-Optix MG model #SV-3LP and its the perfect tool for examining cards. I usually wait for a sunny day and tilt the card every possible way looking for imperfections. I start with the corners and then throughly examine the edges and middle. I then check the back for hidden wrinkles and corner wear. I'm a PSA dealer and I also write down what I think the examiner will grade the card. I'm getting a tad better each year very seldom do I miss an obvious flaw such as a light surface wrinkle. Anyway, my Ultra-Optix magnifying glass works wonders but I'm not even sure if they still produce them.
