If you have a scanner, can you do me a favor?

I like to collect signed rookie cards when possible, but for some players the card is too expensive to buy and send directly to the player or paying for the auto at a show is too expensive, so am going to start making auto cut cards using high quality scans of the rookies. I have been stocking up on signed ICs of expensive Pirates and Steelers players to start out, and have found working TTM addresses for some other players.
I bought a Lynn Swann card to have signed at local show, but he would not sign cards, so his cut will be the first I make since he did sign an IC through the mail.
But, I need to rely on the kindness of other collectors to be able to get High Res scan of the front and back of many of the cards. So if anyone out there is feeling kind, I would appreciate it if some of you could scan the front and back of a card or two at at-least 200 dpi (500x700 for standard cards) and either post them here, PM them to me, or email them to alifaxwa2@cox.net. Also, I would be more than willing to share some addresses in exchange for the scans.

I have photoshop, so it would be easy for me to crop out the slab and enhance the image as I need.

This is the list of who I have ICs for, or who will be easy for me to get.

ernie stautner 1951 bowman
duke snider 1949 bowman

While I wasn't expecting to get a whole bunch of them, I am admittedly surprised that I got shutout.

Well that's probably because that's a pretty serious list. Meaning those cards are pretty rare. I do have a scan of an OJ Simpson and Joe Montana card but both are graded. So those might not be exactly what you're looking for. Despite your avitar.

I know its a serious list, hence the reason I can't afford them. Although, I know its also a list that many of the players and sets probably have a decent following.

Also, I have photoshop, so cropping/editing out the slab isn't that difficult.

Thanks

If I were you, I'd PM knuckles and see what he can do. You're not going to find a better way to show off your cut signatures.

Here you go, althogh Im not so sure if I agree with fake signatures on rookie cards. Use the force for the power of good, dont go to the darkside.

Do You want a scan of the card with or without the autograph ?

If you want scans of these cards why not just go to E-bay or some other photo of the card on the net and "borrow" it ?

Without is prefered, since I want to make cuts out of them.

Actually never thought about that. Will give it a try.

Well, eBay, isn't too useful. Few scans are big enough to use at 2x size. But will keep looking there. Still would appreciate any help.

If you have a scanner, can you do me a favor?
