Default Scanner recommendation

Can anyone recommend a scanner for scanning cards?

I use the Fujitsu FI-7030. It's fairly expensive ($500), but I am uploading around 200 eBay listings per day. https://youtu.be/u74ydRuA1Rg

Interesting - I can do about 80-100/hr WITHOUT a scanner like that (Using pages), any issues with thicker cards?

I have a Canoscan 8600f and took great scans but when I upgraded to windows 10 I couldn't use the canon toolbox anymore. Now I have to use vuescan and I'm still trying to get the scans to look as good before. Anyone have any vuescan settings please share. Thanks.

Here are some of my previous scans.

I’ve been using an app for my phone called Tiny Scanner and it takes great pictures of raw cards.

I included a picture of a slab and top loaded card also for reference.

Same here as well. Best scanner out there for cards imo. Captures vibrantly colored cards very well. Only con is that it picks up dust/fingerprints too well sometimes, nothing a quick wipe with a microfiber cloth can't handle

I use a V550. Good for the magnetics and slabs. Software works on Win 10 and very simple scan and save protocol. I supplement with Windows Photo Editor for cropping. Adobe never again lol

Epson V is the best I've found.. depending on the model the number changes.. I've had them since the v37 and it is perfect.. only issue I have is that is a little slower than some but the quality more than makes up for it when you do large batches

Another vote for V600. Not to expensive either.

Watch out when you upgrade to Win11. The epson scasn software loses most of the "buttons" (soft screen buttons). Make sure you are good at clicking where they used to be lol.

As others have said, the Epson V600 is the one of choice.

Check out my signature for my scanning guide.

I have the Epson V600. Best $200+ I've spent in a long time. Little pricey and the scanner is a bit large but you won't regret it.

I nabbed a little sibling of the V600, the V200 for $40 new in box about a year or 2 ago. Probably the 2nd best item I purchased for cards behind a thermal label printer.

Love it. Still have to manually crop in a simple photo editing software but still goes quick enough.

Another Epson V600 user here - either lid up or down depending on the card.
