Posted By: <b>Derek </b><p>Hi all! This is my first time to sell a card on e-bay, and I think my scan looks awful. Any thoughts on how I can improve?<BR><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2711291572&category=31719" target=_new>http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2711291572&category=31719</a>

Posted By: <b>petecld</b><p>Suggestions:<BR><BR>1. On way to save file size and allow larger images of the card is to place the front/back images right next to each other.<BR><BR>2. Delete as much of the background as much as you can.<BR><BR>Are you using a scanner or a digital camera?<BR><BR>Email me if you need any help using photo editing software.<BR><BR>

Posted By: <b>Hankron</b><p>I agree with Pete. If you had the images side by side they would be larger. Overall, the images look nice and detailed, but should just be larger.
