Hello Josh, a couple things that will help. Here's what I do. First you need a decent scanner with CCD scanning. The epson v30/33 are great and less than a $100. There are plenty of other scanners that work just as well with more bells and whistles, but the important thing is the CCD technology. The CCD scanning does a much better job on scanning graded cards. Second, decent image editing software. I use Photoscape since it is free. This software will allow you to easily crop the image (remove all the extra white space) and combine two images on a "page" (show the front and back together). That's it about it. I wouldn't be surprised if there are other options to do it quicker, but I like the cheaper approach so I can buy more cards.
Other thoughts, scan in a dark room with the scanner lid up. Also, scan with the highest scan setting possible then, if needed, resize in the software.
