Good stuff!<br /><br />A tip for scanning refractors: place them in a toploader (or one touch case, anything to get the card itself off the surface of the scanner), scan with the lid open in a dark room. Presto!

I didn't even know about them until it was too late. The Maddux and Gwynn cards are def up there.

By the time I was interested, they were way out of my league in price. One day if I win the lottery, I'll pick up the Maddux and Gwynn refractors for my PC.Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3769842163065227203.post-11396725261050545042010-08-03T20:38:39.109-04:002010-08-03T20:38:39.109-04:00Yeah, I love when they come out pink like that.

It's funny how refractors scan too - sometimes they show up bland and sometimes they show pink like yours.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16093836365100859832noreply@blogger.com
