I am breaking in a new scanner, and trying to set my image size accordingly.

What is the height in inches of a standard T206?

Thanks

The nominal size (inches) for a T206 is

1 7/16 wide by 2 5/8 tall.

In decimal form, this is

1.4375 x 2.625

That explains all the fakes in my collection. I had thought it 1-7/16 tall by 2 5/8 wide. I had been cutting the topps off the buggers to get them to fit horizontally in the top loaders.

Thanks for the quick response.

Just going to test how the scans present before resizing the files anymore....

The only problem with what you are doing is that everyone is not going to see them at that size. My monitor is set at 1280 x 1024 and even though I increase my DPI size, your scan will not appear to me at the size you scan it.

How can you tell if it works for T206's if you don't use a t206 as an example..

Didn't think about the DPI issue. I guess I will scan for my settings and let the chips fall where they may.


Dan -- here is a close up of the top two corners. The top right is a touch round but not frayed.
