I use their default setting for regular sized cards. 200x320 or something like.

My second scan is the default "medium" sized file. That what you use?

Exactamundo.

Thanks, Fonz!

I just crop my scans nearest to the edge as possible. Leaving a little edge/frame around the card. I put a black background so the card pops.

You mean better than the old manila envelope I use?? :lol:

Should be a boring day. Just 5 more days until the Super Bowl.

 

[ChasHawk]

I always crop mine all the way to the edge Jeff. I have no idea why. :lol:

The amount of time I spend scanning, cropping, making sure the cards are perfectly straight. ::facepalm::

Less than five.

There are some really nice Cepeda cards from 2008 Prime Cuts as well that go for ridiculously low prices.

I didn't even see the auto. I was looking at the manilla background. :lol:

Saw that this morning! I opted for a Cepeda rookie instead.

Figured you would like it, Dave. Met him at a free signing at the local Sears store in 1980.

Depending on the date in 1980, I was either in the negative or barely positive age-wise.

Here's a few low-end Andrew.

Many more were listed last year, including one that spelled out "BULL" in g/u bat pieces.

Here is the Cepeda I just bought.

I know, I know, OC, but still looks great to me. And, after bing, it was $50 delivered!

The rest of the ebay certificates go to Chris; she has her eye on some nice books.

Figure it would be pretty tough for me to get married without her taking part!

I had the entire Cepada Prime Cuts run, sold it for about $100 profit, whew.

Those are really nice. I have, I think, 5 autos and about 4 gu I need to scan.

Picked this one up last year for about $12 by using my ebay bucks toward it:

Why does that not suprise me? :lol: You still have the Medwick's right?
