Help Creating Digital Album

DLTNAT

What is the best way to take pictures of your cards to create a digital album? I have tried using my I Phone but do not like how they turn out. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Use a high quality scanner like the Epson V600 and get the room pitch black and scan with the lid up and crop them down with just a touch of a black border around the card.

Hi! I agree with @Dpeck100. Pick up an Epson v600 and follow the tips in my guide (see my signature) and you will be well on your way. I have a number of digital albums in my signature too.

Here are a few samples. You can scan pretty much anything with the V600. Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks!

It took me a while to fit all that info in there. Is there an award for most links in a sig? I want it!

I honestly think it’s great. Love the pride of ownership and accessibility for other collectors to see.
