So I just got a BGS order back a few weeks ago.  I'm trying to get the pics on my pc.  When I use my scanner the label is blurry.  When I use my camera I can't seem to get a good one without my phone in the reflection.  Other slabs seem to be easier but I just can't get great scans or photo's of any of my Beckett slabs.  Any tips or tricks you guys can give me?

Use a Epson Perfection V600 Photo Scanner. All of the Vxxx scanners are good, but the newer ones have good scanner light. I am sending one of my Yankee slabs to show you. I was having trouble finding them on the website,  but Amazon has some.

I was happy with my Epson Perfection v30 and have been happy with the v370. Look for a scanner that uses a CCD instead of the more common CIS.

CCD - Charged Coupled Device
CIS - Contact Imaging Sensor

CCD does a better job with items that aren't directly placed on the glass, such as a graded card since it's suspended in the holder.
