Recently got a scanner and I am starting to upload photos here. I have put them in but when the site updates it disappears. Is there any particular reason for this?

Flatbed scanner? Looks like I see the phone reflection in this one:

And the top of the back here is washed out and blurry:

Worst "scanner" I've ever seen. No wonder they are disappearing - they don't meet the site's guidelines.

These are photos.

Actually I had recently taken some scans on my phone of other cards. Those are the wrong files. Will get the other ones submitted.

Scans only, no photos (that includes phone scanning apps). ------------------------------- *Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them.*

Also don't forget to crop the photos so only the card is in the picture you submit. Sometimes when I close the lid on the scanner the cards slide a little bit, so the picture comes out crooked. If that happens just re-scan it again. Eventually you'll get a feel for it, but for now keep on scanning. Try different settings (add more color, more brightness, less contrast etc.). Practice makes perfect, or at least close enough to it.

Probably because I purchased it used for cheap to tinker around with. I’ll keep seeing what I can do.

I edited the settings of the Photo scan settings on my scanner to scan an image size of 2.45" x 3.45" and it works great for getting standard-sized card without the need to crop. Setting 2.85" x 4.15" works great for the Topps Relic cards like what are used for Topps Now and Topps Pristine.

The scanner I bought in July is the Cannon LIDE 300. I paid just over $57 for it and it does 400dpi, which seems pretty good for the price.
