This is one of the coolest sets I have ever read!
-
I have used CGC since 2013, and I have never looked at the set page until today... Wow I am missing a new world of collecting. Considering I am a (part time) web designer I should whip up some cool designs on my own page! Maybe I need to research this a bit more and tell my story in a set.

Can anyone recommend a good flatbed scanner for slabs?

Can anyone recommend a good flatbed scanner for slabs?
Investment Comic Books replied to Poekaymon's topic in Comics General
Yeah I think it shows the true color of the slab, and closest representation I could get. I used to calibrate TVs, so I have calibrated my monitor and the color profile. Then I played with the controls of Windows 11 photo app and measured the color accuracy of that of the comic itself and they look as close as I could possibly get it! -

I have scanned hundreds on mine, not one hiccup! I use Windows 11 Photo app and here are my best calibration settings I have found work best for me and my calibrated LED monitor. -
I will do that! I will get this done by tomorrow night.

Legal Size Scanner thread.
Investment Comic Books replied to VintageComics's topic in Comics General
Still shows all the defects as if you were looking at it, and show true color accuracy as its seen in person. Now I understand everyones monitor is different and does not have a calibration software or tools to do this, but I am just speaking from my experience. Unfortunatly some slabs I struggle to get rid of the lightbleed from the scan bar, I think reduce it depending on angle of comic on glass and less light in the room. -

I use Windows 11 "Photos" app and I use these exact settings everytime because I measured them with calibration/my monitor. First I crop, then I color correct. -

Investment Comic Books replied to VintageComics's topic in Comics General
No offense at all, I just realized you are right it is a bit over saturated, so I tried to dial it back, trying to get as close to the slab in real view. -

Why is this cert number not working?
Investment Comic Books replied to MatthewFowl's topic in Ask CGC Trading Cards
That is very strange, I wonder if CGC runs their data on-prem... pretty worrysome if they do not have any kind of fail-over or backup in a seperate data center. -
