These cheap "jeweler's loupes" on amazon do the trick usually. They claim up to 60x or something, I don't really believe that, but they work. You really don't need much.
I have one like this https://www.amazon.com/Bluedot-Trading-jewelers-loop-60x-Jewelers-Magnification/dp/B00MMP6YJW/ref=zg_bs_8090802011_34/131-9874862-0971406?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=KZZ0NZVTM7TRMRNBQ9E2 (mine has some different brand but they're from the same factory anyway I'm sure) but I've seen various others from just searching "jewelers loupe" on amazon used and they all worked fine.
With how cheap they are it's also no big risk.
This one is the one I use (but shop around there may be better prices like on Ebay):

This one seems good but I'm not sure if the blacklight is strong/large enough. I want to illuminate a whole card. Also it seems bulky / awkward to use.
also I am not sure if 60x zoom is too much or not
I wanted to ask for advice in a store in person
