scans I post, you can see how Picassa houses my collection and, more than likely, download the software yourself.
Thanks very much for the info. I have been scouring the message boards for the best scanner, and the CanoScans are always talked about the most. Unfortunately I couldn't find any new for the right price, so I went with a HP Scanjet G3110. It's CCD with cathode tube (able to scan BGS, PSA and refractors) and is only $45 new on eBay. It seems to be a good one. I've seen the scans it makes and am impressed. I hope they turn out as good as yours. That scan and card are amazing.
