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!

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!
