SCANNING CARDS????
Has anyone found a simple, fast way to scan cards. I have a bunch of cards for trade and I want to post them.
I have my flat bed scanner, but takes forever for cards.
Any help that would be great.

Maybe just adjust your setting on the scanner slightly to lessen the dpi so it doesn't take as long to scan.
CARD COUNT: (Met cards - 15655) (Piazza - 1610) (Wright - 759)

Or do a quick scan if your scanner has that feature. Or if you have a lot of cards, just take a picture.
Looking to complete the 2013 Archives Mets fan favorite Au's (Just need Ron Darling) and 2014 Topps Gypsy Queen set mini base + SPs. Also working on 2015 Topps Chrome and updates. Please note that if you have less than 15 trades, I ask that you send first.

On my scanner i can put as much as 9 on at a time and then select the individual cards and it creates a single scan for each card. kinda like a crop i guess. Maybe look and see if you have a similar feature on yours.

What kind of scanner do you have? That feature sounds like it would save me a few hours a week.
I bought my scanner for $5 at Goodwill. It is slowly dying, is louder than a trash compactor, takes 43 seconds to scan a single card, and has no working ports other than the SD card, so transferring files is a pain. But if you take a look at my buckets it is still working.
A couple words of advice. Single scans look 3000x better than multiple cards in a scan. Also clean off the glass every 20 scans or so. I'm a relativley neat person, and can't believe the amount of dust particles that get in there even after just a few scans. Finally label your pictures, even if it is just the player name, but the more labeling the better.
