Card Scan Setup Checklist
Check light, glare, focus, framing and sleeves before you scan a trading card. The checklist gives tips; it does not analyze photos or predict a match.
Before you scan
Mark each condition you have checked. The checklist gives practical tips; it does not analyze an image or predict an app result.
Check the conditions that match your setup, then review the remaining tips.
