Question: When a grader looks at a card, do they always use a magnifying glass or loupe?

Answer: This may surprise many people but the answer is: no. The vast majority of the cards are reviewed with the naked eye. Grading tools are available to each grader but they use the tools as they see fit. For example, if a graders see a tiny defect on a corner, they may use the loupe to get a closer look at the paper damage.
