I can't read card backs any longer
I am not exactly sure when this happened, as it certainly was gradually, but I am no longer able to read the backs of most cards without great difficulty and usually some sort of aid, such as bright direct light, moving the card an arm's length from my face and/or reading glasses. I am 46 now, so that is not unexpected by any means, but I have always had good vision in the past. Such is the aging process.
I have not yet succumbed to wearing reading glasses on a regular basis and really only need it for very tiny print. It is one of lives smaller problems I know, but it can be tricky trying to figure out what set a card comes from, especially newer cards. I believe I now need a lighted magnifying glass to keep with my card sorting supplies!!

I can certainly relate to this. Sorry to say it will probably get worse before it gets better! I have been reading the back of sportscards since I was 5 years old and now it 53 I have to use reading glasses. It sucks but like you said such is life!

Don't forget your glass before a cards show . I do not where glasses and wish I had
Something with me sometimes . I just didn't want to be the guy with the Magnifying glass at the card show . But when the day comes for glasses I wouldn't mind using them . Last edited by Rookiemonster; 01-03-2016 at 08:21 PM.

I am also 46 and had the same problem for about 6 months before I broke down and made a appointment to see the eye guy. I have had glasses for about a month and now that I am used to them I really like them. The world is not so fuzzy anymore.LOL
