So looking through my cards needing scans and I saw this card tagged for a poor scan. I looked at the scanner and thought whoever tagged this card for replacement must be new. There's no way Billy should ever be tagged for poor quality scans. He wrote the dam TCDB book on scanning. I know from experience how absolutely insane it is to get these chrome and silver cards to show properly. Some times you just got to make do with what you can get it to. I've spent so much time on Photoscape X trying to fix scans and make them look perfect and finally gave up and uploaded the card. I DARE someone to produce a better scan of this card than The Godfather of Scanning!!!

Always looking for Blackhawk hockey, Notre Dame Football, White Sox and Bears Stuff. I have a plaque in my card room that says, "I could have been a millionaire but my mom threw out my baseball cards". How apropos!!! Collecting Chicago Blackhawks Hockey, Doug Wilson Hockey, Chicago Bears Older, Notre Dame Football in their college jerseys and Chicago White Sox. |

I have seen some scans tagged as needing replacing and could not figure out why. This would be anotehr that falls in that category. I wish the site also tagged the member who declared it as not good enough. Then we might see a few less tagged scans.

This is what you get when you use a cheap scanner. LOL

1. Billy obviously knows what he's doing (the guide, etc.)
2. I wouldn't say that scan looks any different than anything other scans that are up for that set
3. Chrome cards are notoriously difficult to scan and I don't really know what you could do any differently
So yeah, add me to those that are confused here.

I put in an IR for Admin to remove the Tag.

Nothing at all looks bad about that scan. The only thing I can think of is maybe a new-ish member saw that their card in hand was different than the scan depicted here.
Would it be a good idea to make notes on sets with effects like this so that people new to this sort of thing might understand?
