Best Scanner for Graded cards?

[edjs]

I thought I would show what a difference a CCD scanner makes. I used to just use my all in one, but always hated the images. I finally went with the Epson V550, mainly because that was the only one at a reasonable price they had at Best Buy when I went shopping. I really enjoy using it, the images are much sharper, and the features are easy to figure out (I'm on the less than average side of the tech savvy scale). Of these images, the one on the right was done with my old scanner.

When I first got my Canon I had it set up on a computer with Windows 8.1. The scans were great. I bought a new computer with Windows 10 several months ago. I couldn't the scanner to work like it should with the new computer. The scans looked bad. I ended setting my old computer up in another room just to use for the scanner.

One thing that read on one of these forums is to scan the cards with the lid open on the scanner. As long as there are no lights directly above the scanner you will get a nice scan with a black background instead of the white one.
