1. • Uneven or wavy edge

     • An uneven or wavy edge can be a quick way to spot a bad edge. To check an edge for waviness, hold the card with your finger along the edge just behind the card. This helps to focus your eye to the edge and can help a wavy edge stand out. Pay particular attention to, not just an entire edge, but areas like the corners.
