I would like a new scanner as well, but the Canon scanners are so huge. Is there a smaller, more portable, wireless CCD scanner on the market? There are lots of small CIS scanners, but I've never seen a small CCD scanner.

I'm quite satisfied with my Epson V330.

Check your local Office Depot/Office Max. The one by me has the V33 for $69.99 on clearance. No a bad price for a new unit!

I have the Epson V33 and it did a great job for me, but I am usually lazy and use the scanner on my HP 8600 All In One.

Mine is an Epson perfection 2400, and it's pretty fast on lower resolutions. It also lets me select the area to scan so I'm not scanning the entire area.

I have an all in one that I rarely use as a scanner.

And for my birthday I got a Brother large format scanner. Still need to set it up, but I'll be able to scan the larger old magazines I have and other stuff that's just a bit too big for a regular scanner.

Josh, if you are looking to scan graded cards, I would avoid it. My understanding is the v19 has a CIS scanning sensor. This would not pick up the depth of scan very well and would result in a fuzzy image. Definitely find something with a ccd scanning sensor such as the v37 or canon mentioned above even if they cost a little more.

I got my epson perfection v33 for $40 refurbished on ebay. Here's a card scanned at 300 dpi, which takes a couple seconds:

Hmmm looks like I can upgrade to your scanner for about $25

Yeah, that's basically the same deal I got. Mine was $40 with free shipping, but pretty much the same thing. Mine was refurbished, but used should be fine. I definitely recommend it. Any scanner without the CCD element is worthless for scanning graded cards. It was a lot of fun when I got it, and scanned all my cards in.

Just got the Epson Perfection V370 for free with Best Buy gift card !!!! Hopefully this will work gulp
