Is there a small wireless CCD flatbed scanner on the market? I had a CanoScan, which worked great (before it quit), but it was just too big and cumbersome.

I found my own solution: the Scanner Pro app for iPad. As a test, I "scanned" this card:

What do you think?

I'm not real impressed with the picture quality, to be honest.

It's not the quality of a traditional flatbed scanner for sure, but considering that the image was taken on my kitchen table at an angle (the app automatically finds the borders and crops and "unskews" the image), it's not that bad. Is it?

No, Daryl, not at all.

That application offers you a lot of flexibility. If you go to a card show, or a lcs, and you want a second opinion on a card you're considering buying, that app is just what the doctor ordered.
