Why did I wait so long to get a proper scanner? Loving my CanoScan 9000F!

Both of those scans beats anything my scanner can do. My scanner is a multipurpose device, i.e., printer, scanner, copier, fax. It is a Canon MX870. Raw cards scan fine but cards in plastic holders appear blurry. Perhaps I need to buy a device that was designed to one thing - scan!

Rob, it's the scanning element that makes all the difference for graded cards. A CCD element will have greater depth focus, which is what you need for cards stuck inside a thick slab. A scanner with a CCD element, and a cold cathode fluorescent light source will give a much better picture. There also won't be any of the streaking you see when slabbed cards are scanned. That's an LED lighting issue.

Sounds like a good investment even though I'm not what you'd call a high-volume seller. I know as a buyer I am more attracted to crisp, clear scans than blurry ones.

Thanks for the advice!

Wait-- so Robinson Cano is endorsing scanners now? I knew he'd sell out once he signed with Jigga but this is ridiculous. Like Yankee cologne.

What's wrong with Yankee cologne? I love the smell of Yankee cologne in the morning...smells like victory!

I can't believe the difference in some of these scans. Does anyone know if the CCD image sensor is available on All In One printers? I can seem to only locate that with scanners only.

Patrick,

Thanks for the information. Getting ready to head out to Best Buy to get one. As luck would have it my other printer/scanner pooped out. My wife doesn't believe luck had any involvement with that printer not working
