Josh, if you are looking to scan graded cards, I would avoid it. My understanding is the v19 has a CIS scanning sensor. This would not pick up the depth of scan very well and would result in a fuzzy image. Definitely find something with a ccd scanning sensor such as the v37 or canon mentioned above even if they cost a little more.

I got my epson perfection v33 for $40 refurbished on ebay. Here's a card scanned at 300 dpi, which takes a couple seconds:

Hmmm looks like I can upgrade to your scanner for about $25

Yeah, that's basically the same deal I got. Mine was $40 with free shipping, but pretty much the same thing. Mine was refurbished, but used should be fine. I definitely recommend it. Any scanner without the CCD element is worthless for scanning graded cards. It was a lot of fun when I got it, and scanned all my cards in.

Here is a previous thread on scanners. You want one with CCD technology. I got an Epson V33 with eBucks specifically so I could scan baseball cards.

My wife was shaking her head. Just doesn't understand.
