Best way to Scan

[Archive]

Posted By: BlackSoxFan

I'm not sure if i'm asking or making a suggestion, but a few people have talked to me about how to scan items properly.. many scanners don't do a good job if you shove an item into the corner...as a result, if you don't have a boundry...you will end up "trimming the card" in the scan. I know a lot of people don't care and that's certainly understandable..but my suggestion for all cards is to get a thin flat object (for me it's the back of a SlimJewel cd case)... use that as the top edge and just line the card up that way...of course when it's in a slab it's a bit easier to scan properly... just my two cents..if you guys have any thoughts ... throw em out there. I myself am a stickler for straight scans.
