I use the Canoscan 4400F. It's an absolutely fantastic scanner and does well with SGC, PSA, and BVG slabs. On Amazon.com it can be purchased for around $100.
There are a lot of members that use this scanner. Here are examples of each slab (SGC, PSA, BVG) and a raw card scan. 1909-11 T-206 Tinker, Joe (portrait) BROWN HINDU.jpg 1909-11 T-206 Johnson, Walter (portrait) SOVEREIGN 150.jpg 1909-11 T-206 Lajoie, Nap (bat on shoulder) OLD MILL.jpg 1909-11 E90-1 Chase, Hal (American Caramel).jpg

Matt,
Thanks for posting the before (CIS) and after (CCD) scans. That seems to make a huge difference in the picture clarity for slabbed cards.

Epson Scanners
I am a photographer and scan everything from cards, to photos to negatives. The Epson Perfection line of scanners is leaps and bounds ahead of Canon and HP. Epson has excellent color properties and minimizes "digital grain", aka over pixilation. I would highly recommend Epson, while there scanners are more expensive, you get more bells and whistles and you are likely to never have to buy another scanner. Epson is the undisputed king of scanners for Photographers, Digital Artists and Graphic Designers. If you do decide to go with another brand, the only other scanners worth your time are Canons Pro Line.

Just wanted to give a quick update and show the benefits of a good scanner. After reading all of your suggestions, I decided to purchase the Canon 8800.
The results: The top scan was taken with my old HP all-in-one which I will be throwing off my roof later this evening. The 2nd scan was taken with my new Canon 8800. No retouching. Tremendous improvement. Thanks to all for your assistance.

Calvindog,
How did you scan your card in order to look that way. It scaned very nice. I have a Canon 4400F and I'm trying to adjust my scanner properly in order to get scans in high quality as yours. Andy
