    Scanning Resolution Question

    What resolution does everyone scan their cards in?

    We had delivered a top notch scanner in work the other day and contemplating re-scanning my PC on this. I want to get superb quality but not at like 1mb per card.

    If you can get scans into this thread for reference, that would be great.

    Thanks a lot.

    I use the Epson V500 set at 6900 x 9600 dpi. It's probably a little much, but I like the scan and the detail it provides on the card. I figure 1) I like looking at it, 2) if someone is wanting to trade or buy, it's pretty good about showing the details about the card.

    You can see what they look like at my photobucket ... http://s1100.photobucket.com/albums/...y%20Cards/

    Scan in at 200 dpi then reduce to 72 dpi in Photoshop.

    I had my scanner set at 300 dpi for all my collection and I never had anyone ask for a bigger scan except for high end vintage. So I crop them and it come out like 420 Kb and up to 450 Kb. Also bigger then this make hard to see on one page that it be posted on a forum or else where.
