Here is a video of an ADF scanner scanning cards in action:

I have a slightly lesser version of the 7160, a 5150, so my scanner is not quite as fast as the 7160. Over the years, I have fed through 100k+ cards without the first hint of damage. These scanners are designed to handle 20# sheets of paper w/o damaging them, so scanning the much less fragile 150-200# card stock a card is printed on w/o damage is a very reasonable expectation.

Some sellers scan the cards in Card Saver Is or IIS, but many others scan their cards raw with no damage what so ever.

Some people forget, cards were printed, cut and packaged by machines....scanning them in this fashion is not much different than what a card went through during their original production process.

FWIW, I am not scanning PSA 8+ quality material from the 50-60s, mainly mid to lower grade cards.
