How to scan this for the PC?

[olerud363]

Recently purchased a 2004 SP Authentic Buyback Auto for my Olerud PC. It comes with a hologram sticker on the back of the card, plus a separate COA with a matching hologram sticker. I'm probably being OCD about it but I'm not sure how I'll scan it. Show the card front, and the COA instead of a back scan? Just the card front & back? Front & back of the card and COA?

I'm interested to hear what others have done for similiar cards.

Thanks.

Scan all 3 and merge with paint? I think I did that with a John LeClair buy back before.

You have an iPhone?
Get the app called PhotoCollage, they have all different templates for stuff. Take as many pics as you want and then photoCollage them together.
Here is an example of just some of the templates

I'd scan the front and back of the card, and then scan the COA. Normally I'd just display the card, but if the occasion warranted, I would also be able to pull out a scan of the COA. It's no different than the number matched COAs that Topps issues with their Vault products, or even than the MLB Authentication stickers attached to items they sell. While your particular COA is the size of a standard baseball card, the reason for that was so that it could for in a pack along with the buyback card; it's an accompanying certificate, not a card itself.

With the following card, I'd normally display it as so:

If the occasion warranted (as it does now, or if I were asking a question or trying to sell it, say), I'd also display a scan of the COA:

All that in one sentence: it's normally not necessary to display the COA, but it's nice to have a scan just in case.
