1980-81 Pepsi-Cola Caps Hockey Forum

I tried to get a decent scan of the Messier Pepsi cap for this set, but each time I try it looks like crap.  I have tried both the pop off and the twist off styles that I have in my collection.  I could take a digital photo, but I know the rules prohibit that...Any ideas?

You need to use a scanner that has depth ability, I can not  think of the technical name for it but I use a Epson Perfection V37 for those types of scans. It also works good for slabbed cards.

Do you get too much reflection  or blurry scanning?   I saw some on EBAY, the screw top by seller looked great, I think it was a photo.  The pop top by another seller was blurry, looked like a scan.   Wish I could help

It's not a reflection problem; just seems like too little depth of field resulting is a really blurry and washed out representation.  Maybe I'll try it on one of our machines at work.

Here is a thread with the info you need. It is teh same scanner I bought.

You need a CCD scanner.
