Scanner's broke....does this camera do a card justice???

My scanner AND my good digital are both broke so I took a phot with a cheap digital that I've had for a long time. Does this photo do a card justice if sellin on Ebay, or should I wait til I get the scanner fixed??

Some folks would bid, some would not.

The background color is not good. The shot
makes the slab look frosty.

I would grab a cheap scanner at WalMart.

Claude, I think it depends on how much you're hoping to get for it. If I'm spending a lot I want to see the left lower corner better, and maybe the back. There's 2 seavers already on ebay, an 8ST and a 7.

I believe a good picture along with a very good description makes a big difference. For Example take these two auctions that ended 2 hours apart:
The Other Guys Auction

My Auction

But I did have Bold Title.

Go to Walmart and buy a scanner

Thanks for the input guys....guess I'm heading to Walmart!

As a buyer it does not matter much to me. The picture is good enough especially since it is in a holder and has a grade. That is just my 2 cents.

if you can adjust the color and reduce the yellowing...it would be fine.

Well, my HP combination scanner/printer/copier just arrived. Ordered online from Walmart for only $45!!! After I get it set up when I get home from work I'll scan again and post here....don't know how good the scan will be from a unit that only cost $45 but it's gotta be better than that cheap digital camera!!

Well, here is the card using the new scanner....not sure if I have it set up right. Is there a way to set it up to get better detail?? The scanner is the left image and the cheap digital camera is the right image.

Unfortunately the combination scanner/copier/printers do a pretty shoddy job of each. For eBay sales on low dollar stuff you can probably get my, but to get really nice results you'll probably have to spring for a Microtek or Canon.

Much better than the camera.

Play with the software that came with the machine.

Experiment until you get it where you like it.
