I've never scanned slabbed cards before. Is there a scanner that anyone can recommend to me?
Thank you

One very popular scanner that many folks here (myself included) will recommend is the Epson V550/600. Easy to use, affordable, great scans. Whatever you get, the most important thing for scanning slabbed cards is to get a scanner with a CCD element, rather than CIS. The CCD element allows the scanner to scan with depth, so something raised off the glass (such as a slabbed card) will still scan clearly. A CIS scanner, which is usually found in lower-end or 3-in-1 type print/copy/scan models, will only scan what is sitting directly on the glass, so slabbed cards will always come out blurry.
