Best way to image a comic for sale on eBay?

[Chip Cataldo]

Digital camera in a lightbox, or right from a scanner?

 

I have about 400 raw silver age in lower grade that I'll be putting up on eBay, and I haven't sold comics on eBay yet...only vintage toys.

 

I have the lightbox/camera setup already, but would invest in a scanner if it meant better images and more honest representation for the buyer....not to mention better profits on the few that are in better shape.

 

Any help/advice/anecdotes would be appreciated, thanks!

 

Peace,

 

Chip

There's no contest - a large, detailed scan will always be a better representation of the actual comic book.

Placed on top of a Roman or Greek Column purchased from Wal-Mart!!

 

Don't forget the most important part.

Thanks! Is there a section of this site with scanner model recommendations?

Here's a scanner thread.

I also recommend using the HTML format on ebay, so you can place large scans in the description.
