Are you possibly talking about a moiré pattern? Very common with prism-type cards. avsbruins65 wrote: Any ideas how to stop this the rainbow effect from happening? ------------------------------- *Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them.*

Two things I've tried, with limited success...rotate the card 90 degrees on the scanner and see if that makes any difference and scan at 600dpi, then go back and resize down to something manageable. Sometimes lower dpi produces weird patters that don't appear at higher resolutions. Also, try leaving the scanner lid open vs closed and see if that makes any difference.
