Fluorescence, Maybe O/T Here...

Just noticed that all 436 of my 1962 Topps fluoresce under my blacklight flashlight. Pretty interesting to see. So, too, all my other post-war Topps and Bowman cards that I have tested. The only 1940s post-war card I have is a 1949 Satchell (sp) Paige (relax, it has a thumbtack hole), and I can't get to it just now. But, all my 1941, 40, 39 Play Balls and 1933, 34 Goudeys and on back tobacco and candy cards do not. I have read that ink changed in the 1940s. Must have been after WW2. What was the reason that ink changed? Anyone have an interesting fluorescence story?
