We won't grade :-(

Nice cards which for one reason or another won't grade is this thread. Grant has a tiny recoloring, Mott, as were so many 1909 Obaks, was hand cut from the original sheet, Chance has a irregular left edge cut and Young was returned as trimmed although it appears to measure correctly.
Shame, but still the cards have a place in ye olde safe...

.......adds that lovely checkerboard.
I always wondered ..is it the cheapo scanner or lack of good image software.

that if you go into your photo software and use the "blur" tool, it cleans up the spots and makes the picture look like it should. Hope this helps.

That isn't caused by a cheap scanner. That effect is caused by the dot pattern used to print the cards. All scanners will pick it up. In your scanning program look for a option called "descreen" or "descreening". If you get an option asking you to pick a "DPI" or a "LPI" use 85 for anewspaper photo, 110 or 133 for magazines or cards. You'll notice it'll take a little longer to do a scan but it should rid you of that problem.

Yes, you can you the "blur" tool to get rid of it but then you have a blurry image. I suggest one use the despeckle filter to lessen this problem.

If you're really disappointed in your E94 Young, I know someone interested in buying it (me).

If you submitted these only once and to only one grading service than SHAME on you! Submit at least 3 times per service and try the 3 leaders. They will be slabbed.

but if I get results like you got (I don't know why) I reduce the resolution to "72". (If you're getting it with "72," reduce it to "50." That's as low as mine goes.

I used to scan cards at a high resolution, then shrink them to post here or on ebay - many times I would get that checkerboard effect. When I scan at a resolution that doesn't require shrinking the image to post, the checkerboard effect doesn't occur. I also found that the checkerboard thing was more likely to happen when I scanned e-cards with the solid color backgrounds - rarely happened with t206's.
