[@kelley1313]

Mark, Thanks for another informative and entertaining video. I only found your content recently, but have already watched them all at least once. I have been selling postcards for a little over a year and am trying to learn all that I can. Keep up the great work! Jerry

[@SMPostcards]

Welcome aboard! Watch them as many times as you want :) Learn anything new, let us know and if any questions just ask and myself or someone else here can probably help with it!

[@Seathelights1]

Thanks for another great video, Mark! The new "Toy" looks like it would work great if traveling, and for items that wouldn't fit in the ES-400 (either too big, or too small). Still, I would think feeding 1200 (if you're scanning front and back separately) cigarette cards through would be more time consuming than using the flat bed scanner. Before I bought the Epson, I used my flat bed scanner, and a program called RansenScanV, that would scan once, then automatically crop each card separately. Like you, I bought the program, no affiliate association with it, I just really liked using it. - Bob

[@shriker20]

You can run the small cards through the 400 with a carrier sheet.

[@SMPostcards]

I tried using a sheet and with 800 cards I did not like it :)

[@shriker20]

Yeah I understand, they are a pain sometimes.

[@SMPostcards]

I sat down and shoved 60 of these little Cigarette cards front and Back in no time. No cropping of images etc. Plus I like toys :)

[@OnlineSlotEnthusiasts]

I was happy to watch this video. I've been using a camera but felt I needed a scanner to be more efficient. Found a es400 on ebay without power cord for $70 plus 20 ship and I offered a flyer $35 plus $20 ship and to my surprise he accepted! I was hoping for $55 I made a good purchase. Already ordered a power cord for 20 😀 Thanks for the great video and comparison Mark!

[@SMPostcards]

Sound like a good deal!

[@stevenjames3242]

I actually liked the new epson scan better than all the others. However, I did understand where you were coming from. the water in the front was CLEARER. I was actually pretty disappointed in the fujiscan as I was thinking of purchasing one, everyone says that is so great, glad I did not purchase that $500 scanner. I would have only used it for my postcards so that is quite an outlay of cash just for that! Thanks for the video, learned something new AGAIN!

[@samou812]

Thanks for another informative video. I just bought one for a bunch of matchbook covers that I need to scan and list. My plan was to take photos, since they are so small, but being able to scan them will save a lot of time.

[@SMPostcards]

That's a great idea! Never thought about Match Books! Thanks for Sharing and let us know how it works out.

[@cjpenning]

Seems like this would be a good option for thicker items that don't bend through the other scanners, like sports cards. Also might work well with those long panorama photos.

[@SMPostcards]

Good Idea! Yea no bending just straight thru. It says it can go as long as 72".

[@PopeyeThePunkRockSailorman]

@@SMPostcards What is the maximum thickness ? Some of my trading cards are 5 to 10 cards thick.

[@SMPostcards]

The specs for the scanner state 9 to 72 lb paper weight. I would think yours is to think for the scanner.

[@cyberdan1000]

Mark, I bought one on your recommendation I like it a lot. Could not afford, at this time, the big one you have. It has a few quirks. If a card has a black border it will not recognize it completely. I just go into photoshop and enlarge the card and add black. I only scan 10 or 15 at a time and then list so not worried about having to do hundreds, yet.

[@SMPostcards]

Great glad it is working out for you! I like mind as well and have used it for the smaller cards mostly.

[@postcardsnmore-laura460]

979 subscribers! You are so close 😊 Great video-fun guessing which produced the best image. The 60w would be a great travel scanner. Thanks again for taking time to produce educational videos.

[@SMPostcards]

So close! Longest wait ever! Thanks for the kind words and watching!

[@calamityphoto9257]

I liked the guessing game!

[@designyourcards]

I liked 3 or 4 the best and 1 the least.

[@davygarcia363]

Thank you, Great information

[@SMPostcards]

Glad it was helpful!

[@youtubelearning2990]

Great video

[@SMPostcards]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@killingsometime]

Can these style scanners capture a bit of blank white background to get a better idea of the condition on the edges? I have a new pile of cards to scan and am dreading it! I need to order a new scanner, you are correct, the flatbeds are tedious! But I do like the quality.

[@SMPostcards]

These is some offset setting that can be tried. Here is a Tobacco Card in my store that I have use the scanner with www.ebay.com/itm/354039262333?. If you are going to be doing a lot Cards regularly a used Epson 400 on eBay is a better choice.

[@killingsometime]

@@SMPostcards Hey thanks for the response! That's what I'm leaning towards but the compact form factor on this one is quite appealing.

[@WHATISIT5000]

I agree the Epson 400 is the best looking of these four, but it looks like the top of the card was cut off.

[@SMPostcards]

The offset probably needs to be adjust a little. I play with that a lot has I have a ton of Naval Postcard with white borders that the Epson does well with.

[@julienorman]

Thanks for another great video, Mr. Rogers! That little scanner looks like a great option for genealogy research and such, I've been looking for something like that. Do you think it would do slides? I was surprised that the Fujistu didn't do as well, could it be a color setting that throws it off?

[@SMPostcards]

To warm for sweater :) Not sure about slides but I think they need a light source to view well. I know squat about slides. Fujitsu has a selection of resolution settings from Automatic down to normal. I set them as close as possible

[@postcardsnmore-laura460]

Julie, thanks to you, I now refer to Mark as the Mr. Rogers of Postcards, too! It’s a compliment 😊 Love your videos as well. Laura

[@julienorman]

@@postcardsnmore-laura460 Yay! and today Mr. Rogers took us on a tour of his scanners. :)

[@AquariumTV]

Are those aquariums at the back there??????😮

[@SMPostcards]

Yes I have 6 aquariums in that room. 3 - 30 gallon and 3 - 55 Gallon tanks. All freshwater.

[@AquariumTV]

@@SMPostcards very nice!! What fish do you keep?

[@SMPostcards]

Right some Cichlids, Convicts Groummis, Silver Dollars etc. Some of these fish I have had for over 5-6 years. Since I retired I no longer drive by my favorite fish store everyday so stock is getting low!

[@karenhenderson3889]

I too hate flat bed scanners. I have not tried my 3x5” trade cards yet in my Epson ES 400. Have you tried that size and does it work? I might consider one of these smaller scammers because I have a few hundred to list. I was shocked by the results of the camera and scanners. Thanks for the information.

[@SMPostcards]

Here is a link to a 3.5" x 2.5" 1957 Goofy Postcard I have www.ebay.com/itm/354021262791 that I ran thru the Epson 400 and looks fine and feeds fine.

[@curtischandler180]

Thank you for ANOTHER informative video! I am about to start flipping postcards and the like... I have a question about this scanner. I tested one on a postcard and a trading card. It did not scan the top edge of either, that's not a good thing for trading cards. Are you having this issue? is there a work-around?? Again thanks again for the videos!

[@SMPostcards]

Thanks! I have found that as well on some scans. I try not to push in to far so scanning starts on the edge. Also there is an adjustment parameter in the Scan Smart software under "Device Settings >>.> Adjustments" "Start Scanning Position" Here is one of my cigarette card listings that I have scanned with the ES-60W Scanner. If you click on image it zooms out and looks ok to me. www.ebay.com/itm/354039290911. The Epson 400 Scanner puts like a border look on images so if edge of card is all white it will look better. The Scan Snap Fujitsu Scanner does not do that. Hope this help! Any other questions let me know I will see if I can answer them.

[@curtischandler180]

@@SMPostcards THANK YOU! for your reply... I really like the speed of this thing, ES60W. This scanner is taking out at least 3 steps in my listing workflow (2 less pictures to take and no transferring from camera to PC.) I think I will use a work-around and scan the fronts & backs in both directions. That way people can see the edges, which is really important in trading cards. I won't mind putting "played" TCG cards through the scanner, those aren't in what people call 'mint' condition to begin with. Sportscards.. ehhhh ... maybe some of them. When I get around to listing the postcards I've been accumulating, I may do the same thing depending on the border or lack of a border. Take care and thank you for the response to this. Thank you again for sharing your information, tip, tricks and such on KZbin, Curtis

[@SMPostcards]

Anytime!

[@lisaliv2585]

A newbie here. Frustrated with camera lighting, I just ordered tnis sweet scanner. QUESTION: If you scan 20 cards, do you save it out in one pdf file? Save as Jpg? Is it easy to open each card separately to list one at a time on ebay?

[@SMPostcards]

That scanner is a good one for starting out and doing low volume, it is not duplex so you have to scan each side. Also go to this link and download the Settings I have for this Scanner ko-fi.com/smpostcards/shop/epsonscannersettings It will save you time and yes it can be configured each scan separately.

[@lisaliv2585]

@@SMPostcards This is awesome! I just downloaded it. I added $10 just because you have already saved me not only time with this download but money with the ebay link for this pre-owned scanner. Well done sir. Now let's see if I can sell another post card. : ) My first one sold today!

[@SMPostcards]

Thanks so much glad it helps!

[@Alritythen]

Does the little scanner put a border around the card like the bigger Epson? Thanks

[@SMPostcards]

Sorry for slow response I had to charge the scanner and test it to make sure, I forgot if it did or not. I rescanned this postcard for the listing here www.ebay.com/itm/353578130067 and yes it has borders.

[@iMANTlS]

What about this thickness of input Can you scan a passport. Also, what if you want to scan a stapled pages ? thanks

[@SMPostcards]

I just ran 5 Postcards thru not problem and when i tried 8 Postcards that is where the thickness was to much for it. I never put any metal thru scanners due to possible scratches. Hope that helps

[@iMANTlS]

@@SMPostcards thank you for the quick reply. Really appreciated. The size and capabilities are tempting. However, it would be embarrassing to buy it then fail to scan half of my paper. And people have complained about their costumer support and longevity of it.

[@karenhenderson3889]

Another question Mark- do you put glitter cards in your scanner? I have pulled them to take with a camera. Just wondering what the pro wound do 😎

[@SMPostcards]

I try not to as some of the older glitter is Mica and can scratch the lens in the scanner. Some have sneaked by, but no scratches :)

[@joemechanicc870]

I use an old Brother multifunction scanner fax printer for glitter or other cards that have metal add-ons. It came with software that sends it to Google drive automatically.
