Help ... Scan of prizm cards

[FunDragon]

I have caught the Prizm Fever and have bought some boxes and some singles from the Bay.

But am having problem getting a good scan from the scanner, it always show streaks of the light no matter what I do.

I have seen many nice scans of those cards here on this forum, can you guys give me some advice on how a clean scan can be obtained. Is it a particular type of scanner need to be used or only the use of a camera can do the job correctly.

here is couple scans that I got from my scanner. Those blue and red streaks are kind of unsightly.

Use a camera, scanners suck. Especially for reflective cards

I usually prefer scanner to camera, but DAMN that looks good! I'll have to take pics of my incoming Gold Prizm.

When you guys say camera, are you talking about point/shoot, dslr, or camera phones?

[tristan20]

Any camera that will allow you to angle the card so it can catch the reflective light.

Of course the better the camera the better the image

I have a Joey Dorsey from Radiance and it's an on-card auto. I guess it just depends.

typically people get mad that they scanner won't capture the light like yours did, I know mine doesn't, lol..... I have a canon from walmart, but the reflective of it is pretty cool
