Can I ask what scanner you use? I need a CCD scanner.

Well,
On Veteran's Day, I got engaged, so I guess this is my favorite pick-up of 2009 (although we met 2 years ago). Tiffany is the cuter one, I am the fat one.



Second favorite is my current avatar.



Good year!!

It was the cheapest scanner I could find at CompUSA about 6 years ago.
It is a Canon (CanoScan3000 I think) and it cost $50.

More important than the scanner is the free Picassa software from Google
that I use to get the colors to look realistic. If you click on the link right below the
scans I post, you can see how Picassa houses my collection and, more than likely, download the software yourself.

Thanks very much for the info. I have been scouring the message boards for the best scanner, and the CanoScans are always talked about the most. Unfortunately I couldn't find any new for the right price, so I went with a HP Scanjet G3110. It's CCD with cathode tube (able to scan BGS, PSA and refractors) and is only $45 new on eBay. It seems to be a good one. I've seen the scans it makes and am impressed. I hope they turn out as good as yours. That scan and card are amazing.

Very nice Zeenut, Darren.

Here's one of my favorite '09 pick-ups w/Josh Gibson, Buck Leonard & Raymond Brown.............

Got this off the BST a few months ago...my favorite back, on a HOF portrait of my favorite team, in the grade I'm going for. Great success.

It's great to see everyone's pickups for '09, an amazing collection.
This Kluszewski is probably my favorite because of searching for one that was decent and within budget, couldn't find a satisfactory purchase of one at Nationals but shortly after picked this one up from Joe on the BST.

I am very proud of this pickup, as it is huge for my Wheat collection. There are only 9 total in the SGC population report and only 3 of those are graded higher, all at 40. Thanks for looking!

After the N566 Ward mentioned in another thread, this was the big get for me in 2009. Been looking for a G&B as a type card for a long time.

Shown prior, but my best.

Wondering if Joe Scott is one of the players in that Homestead Grays photos?

Donny:

I have a list of players pictured in that photo and Joseph Scott is not one of them.
