Thats the whole key to everything, if you want to scan things in slabs, its essential for great scans to get any scanner with a CCD and not a CIS element.

Thanks guys. I read the old threads and have been unable to see in the specifications whether they have CCD technology. Based on the fact that all of you recommend the Cannon... I think that I will go with that. Thanks for the help... Looks like $175 is about the right price for that one....

While researching I also found the Epson V600... which seems about the same ($170) and mentions 3D objects which sounds good for holders.

Will probably go with the Cannon though.... love those scans that you guys posted. Thanks.

I purchased a CanoScan 5600f based on a recommendation from here, and could not be more satisfied. I'm not sure how the features compare to the 9000f, but I imagine the element would be similar (the 5600f definitely has a CCD element). The 5600f is also on Amazon right now for $100.

I have an older cannon model 8800f. I tend to scan infrequently and find myself forgetting how to operate the thing. But the results could not be better.

Ok, dumb question, how do I know if I have CCD or CIS. I have a LEXMARK Pro-200 scanner/printer/fax and whatever else it does.

You could do a google search on the scanner element but the easiest way would be to scan a graded card and see if the flip is clear but the card is blurry. The CCD element keeps both in focus. If yours is a CIS element, the card would be fuzzy.

Also, if you took an item and it was extremely bowed, it would retain clarity through the entire image with a CCD element.

It's posts like these ^^^ that require a "drooling" smiley. Just awesome.

I scanned one of my '14 CJ's the other day and noticed it also had that creamy, off-white tone. I like how the Canon scanner captures that element in these cards.

Got the Canon 9000F out of the box today and scanned a few card... As promised, here are some of the first ones to be scanned. Any advice on how to make them better is appreciated.

Thanks.
