Scanning cards in holders?

I am looking for a little advice on how to quality scans of cards that are already in a holder. I know that most veterans of the hobby follow the saying "Buy the card and not the holder". Here are 2 cards that I think are really nice, but they look kinda blah in the scans.

It's an all in one print/scan/copy and its about 8 months old. But I really think it does a nice job on raw cards.
Just a few examples of raw cards up for auction right now. (not a plug).

creases? stains? looks pretty decent....
This card is a little more yellow on the borders than a pack fresh version and the corners are a little soft.
There are no creases, though.
I never add 'could be a PSA X' to my auctions but I would say it probably would pull a 6.5 or 7.

It's likely a LIDE type scanner and not a CCD type scanner. LIDEs are nice because they're cheap and thin, but scanners that use CCD technology can handle depth better so the card in the slab looks crisp.
