Scans
So I just bought a cheap cannon scanner (lide 400) as I have a lot of t206 dupes I am finally going to get around to selling. Lots of setting options to enhance/brighten/etc. images. Whats the best/most honest way to do it? No enhancements? Are the enhancements okay to make the picture sharper? Are any enhancements off limits, but some are okay? Its all low grade, generally, and I am too lazy and don't pay enough attention to detail to write out descriptions of flaws/condition so I will need the pictures to show the true condition. I havent seen a discussion of this before, so just wondering everyone's thoughts.

Do you use Photoshop at all? For cards available for sale or trade, I scan on my Epson without using any filters or enhancements, then bring it into Photoshop and hit 'Auto Tone,' 'Auto Contrast' and 'Auto Color' (and no other image adjustments) to keep it as close to real as possible.

I do not use photoshop. I guess I will just have to play around with it to see what looks most realistic/accurate - I have noticed that some settings make the color "pop", and I have noticed it in listings before - but the cards don't look like that in real life - where the color almost glows.

Do PSA and SGC scan or use a camera? PSA’s pic vs. my scan:

I think it cuts both ways. Yes, scans tend to be more accurate than phone pics, but because scans flatten the image, they don't always do a great job of catching imperfections, such as wrinkles and creases. Sometimes taking a picture of a card at an angle can do a better job of showing imperfections....If you're in to that type of thing....
