That's awesome! And that was quick shipping. Mine should be here in the next couple of days. Can't wait to see your scans.

Eric
I chose the free shipping option where it was supposed to take 5-9 days and it took 2 so yours will hopefully arrive sooner than you think.

Best,

Scott

Yep, if you choose the "for blogs" size it will appear smaller. I fixed yours for you to that size so you can see.

By the way, the scan looks great! Nice clarity even when it's twice the size.

Thank you Ben!

This is me with these types of things

That looks great! And 600-750 is probably a good height for forum pics.

A few more from my recent pickups. Threw in a PSA card just to show. Scanner works very well.

Dang that looks good. I'm excited now.

Scott, could you post a scan or two at "for websites" size? Just want to see how clear they are close up.

Here you go Ben.

One more for ya!

Dude....that is really nice! I can't wait. I think we did good.

If anyone is looking for a relatively cheap scanner and a very good one at that, we have found it!

I agree bud, we made a great purchase. Thanks for bringing the topic up and doing the research. Looking forward to seeing your cards.

Best,

Scott

Thanks. I've got a bunch to rescan. I have many, many blurry pics, that I can't wait to fix.

OK, I got my scanner today.

Here is the before (with my crappy scanner):


And here is the after with the new scanner:

What a difference Eric....great card!

Scott

Some more before and afters. These are absolutely amazing:










And the After:

For some reason my photobucket account won't update with the new pictures. Even though I removed the old ones, and replaced them. I can see the replaced pic, but when I copy the Image Code, it somehow shows the old card. So I can't show the new Harry Davis.







And just some PSA slabs I rescanned:

Got a new Cannon 4400 scanner in the mail today.
Eric talked me thru how to put Front & back together, Thanks Eric.
First scan is my POS lexmark
second is the Cannon, The Cannon Rocks

Nice Jerry! Heck of a difference.

I should be a Canoscan 4400f sales rep!
