The ultimate trade up

[Bliggity]

Stephen - just some friendly advice, take it for what it's worth. If you really want to reach this goal (and you obviously do a lot of other selling apart from this thread), you should really invest in a scanner with a CCD element, so that your slabbed cards aren't so blurry. It really makes a world of difference, and will help your sales/trades. They're not terribly expensive - you can get a Epson V550 for about $160. Just a thought. I think people will be very hesitant to trade for $1000+ cards when they can't see a good scan.

I will look into one right now. Thanks for the advice!

Ps I have a epson perfection V19. Does this have the capability and I am just not using it right?

No - the V19 has a CIS element, not CCD. The basic difference is that the CIS will focus on what's directly against the glass, so if something is slabbed, the card will be out of focus. The CCD will scan the field deeper until it hits something, so slabbed cards still appear sharp.

Haha no... I realized it was refurbished, and for an extra $5 epson was selling it on ebay themselves.

C'mon Stephen, I support you, but really? You could Google this and find the difference when buying a printer. Is Net54 now Technical Support for you?

I think you should set a goal of trading up the printer you just bought for a new MacBook Air.

I literally had no idea what CCD was man. I thought maybe they all had it and I wasn't using it right. I am new to scanning, as I used to use the cell phone instead. He brought it up which is why I asked. Also, it wasn't a printer, it was just a scanner. I already have one so wasn't really familiar with what he was telling me is all.
