I've been residing in the CROP AREA, cropping cards. I find it amazing how many cards are scanned without proper cropping, seems crazy, scan and not crop!

Anyway, there are other fixes that can be done here [like CROOKED], Wish I knew how to fix other than just cropping?

Crooked must be rejected. The sad thing is, the best tool to fix bad scans, PhotoScape, is free and literally takes 2 seconds to correct. Crop/rotate/correct washed out...all of that can be done in 2 seconds. 

It's made my scanning life so much easier, too, Billy.

I spend time cropping the poor jobs I did back in 2010 and the early years.   If you come across any sets where I am a large contributor, let me know and I will take care of them.

Same here, if my scans are bad just let me know I'll rescan, no need in somebody else wasting their time. I would really like the Dale Earnhardt Sr Seven Diamonds to make the site, so just let me know. I forgot to subscribe so just met me

I would like to be able to remove my bad scans from the queue if there were a way. The best thing that I can think of is just simply previewing your scans on your computer before uploading them to the site. This is something that I know that I am not the best at as I want to get as many as possible up when I am home. So in this instance patience and due diligence from myself is required as well.

One thing I would like to know. What in the world constitutes "low quality" and who decides that?

Just for the record, where Bob is spending his time is in the area where the new members' submissions go to be potentially cropped and/or vetted for issues. He is not reviewing scans that have been on the site for years.

Now, that said, Bob, what you are doing is a very big responsibility. Don't forget, that each scan you look at you have to check for the following issues:

1. Is it the right card / side of the right card?
2. Is it crooked?
3. Is it photographed?
4. Is it complete?
5. Does it meet the minimum size (250 x 350)?
6. Is it watermarked?
7. Is it altered from how it was originally issued (after-market autograph or other extraneous markings)?

This is why this is a point-earning task. Once you've gone through and cropped it and said it passes these criteria, then they can be approved. (The point is awarded when the image is approved.)

Thaks for taking this on. This should really help clean up that queue.

I disagree that the Finest refractor card of Mark Grace I posted (both front and back) is of low quality. I do not disput the jersey card above it as I did not remove it from the screw down I keep it in. Hence my previous question.

Arkansas Traveler, In your case, it was me. You're scanning stuff still inside cases and sleeves (or both), and they are coming up blurry and with reflections.
