Anyone in the scanning business?

[cbrandtw]

There have been numerous discussions over time about scanning cards and creating websites for collections. It got me thinking someone could start a business where a collector (like myself who doesn't have time and/or isn't website savvy) would send in cards and have their collection created online. I remember seeing someone's collection online where there were tabs along the side of the page for different categories and once you got on a particular page all cards were displayed. Once you hovered the cursor over an image the card would automatically flip over. I always thought that was super nice and wished my collection could be showcased like that. What would be the cost? Who would trust sending their collection out to someone? I don't know the answers but I think it would be a good idea. Just a lot of tape to cut through. What do you guys think?

There would definitely be a lot of trust to be had in this situation. Not sure if anyone made it a full-time job, but depending on how much was being charged and the time frame, it could be a small side business.
