I put all cards in top loaders to prevent damage. How much time can you save if you still have to organize and insert pics and descriptions on eBay. It doesn't automatic sort pics and descriptions. I can imagine having to search through 1000s of pics on a computer to find the player you want versus taking a few photos we a phone.

Hey Jmac Thanks for the video's as normal. I found a little better way to scan the Chrome card so they don't look back. So when you go to settings. Click > Advanced Settings then put the Brightness to 90% to 100%, Contrast 0 and the Gamma to max which is 3.0 then click save. Then scan a chrome card see if its better. I spent a couple hours messing around and this is what works the best for my ES 400. Hope it helps you some. Being you help me a lot with all the video's. Thanks

I think I figured out how to get rid of the scan lines. I just purchased this scanner a week ago and I was about to rip out my already thin hair after persistent scan lines. After A LOT of trial and error, I discovered that this scanner is SUPER sensitive to any sort of dust particles. It's amazing how much dust can land on the glass after each scan (or how much is even on the penny sleeves). I have a micro fiber cloth and air duster can ready after each scan and if I notice a line, I see where it would line up in the glass, wipe it off/blow it off and re-scan....removing the lines...at least for 1 or 2 more scans then I have to repeat the process over again, lol.

I have maybe 10,000 sports cards, most are in storage boxes while a couple thousand are in penny sleeves and top loaders. I've watched several of your videos on different scanners. I was wondering if you had a recommendation for an inexpensive scanner that would scan all the cards in Jpeg format so I can use a software to upload to sites to try and sell. Any help would be appreciated. I am on a seriously tight budget but I don't have time to put one card at a time then flip it over to scan the backside.

@Ifyouhavethecoin Жыл бұрын
@JMac Sports Cards no quicklist is a program you can use from tcgplayer if you have pro. It was released like 5 to 7 years ago and it supported flat scanners and the ix500 scansnap and Webcam. They bought out a company that made a sorter, the roca sorter a 25k machine and made a scanner app. Now quick list only "supports" Webcam but some scanners still get recognized and are able to be used like the scansnaps. I was hoping that the epson one would be "supported" but sadly it's not and with ebay buying tcgplayer I can definitely see them releasing a program like quicklist that id's cards and places them into your inventory. I feel like the ix1600 scansnaps are going to get more expensive, the ix500 and ix1500 you have to tape or sand parts down so it doesn't scratch the cards.

Hi JMac, Thank you for pointing me to this great tool -- I got my Epson ES400II last week but it creates clear vertical scratch line on the penny sleeve (similiar to what you observed on yours). I see that the card is fine but the line goes in the image: ~3/4 to the right on the front of the card face image and adding all the time a disclaimer "scratch lines are only on the penny sleeve" gets too much... I tried on couple useless Pokemon cards to scan without the sleeve and with the feeding rollers and the scratch is created on the same place so the issue can't be with the missing rollers... Do you have any ideas on what exact part of the feeding mech might be responsible for creating these scratch lines?

I could be like some folks and only be all positive or all negative but I prefer to be non bias and honest and talk about the pros and the cons. Most folks, as proven by the success of my two videos on the epson, don’t want to spend $1000 on a scanner, it’s unnecessary unless it’s in the budget. Have a great day.
