That's the problem of the one I have now. The PSA and SGC slabs are all blurry. The regular cards are pretty good (see below). That said, I just bought a ring light yesterday. So my weekly card budget is gone. And I plan on buying a new webcam next week with that week's allotment of $40, lol. So maybe the week after I can get a scanner at Walmart or something.

Their scanner (for example) typically lacks the technology to scan items with depth. Long story short: the scans of graded cards will look blurry and defeat the purpose of having a new scanner.

For slabs, I believe you want a scanner with a CCD element. Fact check that, though. I'm not 100% certain that's what they're called.

To get good traction on mid to lower grade vintage post good scans, provide timely communication and competitive prices. Definitely lower than ebay. If there are examples of the same item on ebay for similar prices I dont believe you will get much traction at all
If you items are rare its a different dynamic.
