    Thanks for the feedback! I just ordered a magnifying set with lights to start looking at the print patterns. problem is, I don’t know what I’m looking for to see what was printed originally vs. a fake. What are the tell-tell signs of authentic printing from the ‘50’s and ‘60’s Topps cards? very much appreciate your support!

    Hello CGC! I’m new to vintage collecting and have stumbled upon the flashlight test to verify if cards are authentic. Just curious if CSG/CGC performs this simple test for authenticity (assume there is much more sophisticated technology than this). Reason I ask is, I got 3 Mantles graded (‘59, ‘63, ‘66) by CSG yet none pass the light test. Does CGC do testing to verify the cards are authentic? Appreciate any insight!
