Tips for the Best Scans
Scan the back too
Most card numbers are printed on the back. Adding the back takes accuracy from 91% to 94%.
Graded cards read best
The slab label spells out the year, set, player, and grade, so graded cards came back 100% right.
Use a clear photo
Low-resolution images were a little less accurate. Fill the frame with the card and avoid glare.
Give the year a quick look
Year is the detail most often off, at 83%. A quick check before you save keeps it right.
Confirm parallels
Parallel colors can be subtle on camera. They came back right 87% of the time, so double-check them.
