I'm in the painful process of moving away from Photobucket due to their service changes and putting everything on Google Photos (which, i think, has the best chance of many of the hosting sites around of still being in business in 50 years and I like their user interface).

As I was doing this, I also realized many of my early scans weren't that great quality (I scanned in penny sleeves, low res, etc.) so I committed myself to rescanning at at 600 DPI. it will be a slow process for sure, but here are some of the initial results, of my favorite prototype cards out there. I'll post as I finish scanning / uploading.

Man, I love those cards. I'd love to own the Thomas equivalents one day. Beautiful scans!

edit: What scanner is that?

Thx man good luck to you, I think you have the right lead hopefully can can add one day

I have a Canon Canoscan 9000F Mark II

Have had to play around with it a lot and figure out best way to scan. I also color edit most scans. It's time consuming...

I'm used to the edit process, but I really like that your scanned has a single light source and no streaks across the card!

I recently scanned some of my executives and proofs for my site:

nice stuff Ross, love that 1997 Totally Certified Platinum Gold. Look into a Canon scanner, you an get an older model with similar LED for pretty cheap I imagine.

more scans of the 1998 Donruss Crusade CTA prototypes:
