8 characters. There are a few archaic software packages out there that still require that you go with the old Microsoft standard of 8 characters, so it's not a bad idea to just get in that habit - it makes it easier to organize your scans anyway.

For instance, I name my t206's as follows, and the scans show up in my file browser in a nice order:
chars 1-3 - number from Lipset's book
chars 4-6 - 1st 3 letters of player's name
char 7 - card instance (e.g: "2" for 2nd copy,etc.)
char 8 - special use ("d" for detail, "e" for enlargement, etc.)
