2016-17 Panini Absolute Basketball Forum

This set includes a 25-card insert of glass cards. The cards are glass inside a sealed mag case. They scan poorly and using a camera it looks better, but I am getting a reflection from my phone. When I scanned the card the second time I placed dark material behind it and the image was still blurry. Any suggestions?

How is it blurry?  Like the material is too thick blurry or is the card meant to be viewably different from many angles kind of blurry?  If it's the former and shooting with a camera seems to work better maybe you can somehow lift the card off the scanner bed a few millimeters?  

Alternatively I've also had some luck improving scans on plexiglass style cards by leaving the lid up and adding more ambient light.

Do you have a CCD scanner?

It doesn't help that the mag case it scratched too. I do not have a CCD scanner, I hope to get one once I can cut down my medical bills.

If you can't get a good scan, don't add it here.

I am considering removing it from the case because it is scratched and putting it in a new mag. If I remove it I will scan it then and only add the image if it is clear.
