Can you tell me more? By the system, do you mean Card Dealer Pro? When you create your batch there is a drop down menu to select what type of card that particular batch is. If you’re not doing it already, I highly recommend you do batches of same type cards. Baseball card batch, Football card batch, etc.. separate from each other. Please tell me more, I want to try and help!

@@MontereySportsCards2 i dont get the option to change between the different sports. i just get the option for nonsport cards and thats it.

Thanks for the kind words! When I need to scan a red or green back and it doesn't initially pick it up, I simply take it out of the penny sleeve and reserve the card, so that the face/image is facing up and try again. Sometimes landscape works, sometimes portrait orientation works. Hope this helps!

@@MontereySportsCards2 Thx, i don't want to risk damaging the card by taking it out but i'll scan a few trash first to make sure it'ok.

Sorry for taking so long to reply! Paper Cards is an option I added myself, you can do this by going into Scanner Settings within PaperStream. If you haven't done this by now, please reply back and I'll be happy to walk you through or at the very least, list my settings for Paper Cards!

Happy to hear that! I love using custom SKU. If you need anything else answered please let me know and it might make it into the next video!

@gadetport If you're using Card Dealer Pro it happens automatically when uploading your images found here 28:04. If you're not using CDP and want to upload images manually and add them to the CSV file manually, you'll need a image hosting site, and then add the URL to the CSV file before you upload to eBay. Hope this helps!

I actually use a default option within PaperStream Capture called "Color Cards". I've found that to be great for 99% of my needs, even refractors, prizm, etc.. Chrome cards themselves, not so much as it's pretty dark, I'm working on settling on a setting for those. Also make sure you've removed the roller within the 8170 before scanning cards with penny sleeves. I hope to add an Advanced video at some point here, which would walk through all of that!

Hey Ashley, thanks so much for letting me know and asking about our store! I'm working on getting this channel verified so the links show up properly, which they said would take 24-hours. Until then, when you're on eBay, if you search for Monterey Sports Cards and don't click anything, you'll see my Store become available as a drop down option in the search bar. Hope this helps, and if you have any problems with it let me know!

I was able to get verified, and now links in my description should work! Thanks for wanting to check us out, any questions just ask!

Thank you very much, the linked worked. This is day 3 for me using card dealer pro. One question I have is in card dealer pro under "Pricing and Inventory" why does it require you to put a sale price of .99 cents? Also, what does this sale price mean to me vs. The actual price I set in the ebay template for my auction price or fixed price? Thank you in advance.

@@ashleyhitchon3948 Under "Pricing and Inventory" that 'Price' is what your auction or Buy It Now will be listed before any shipping charges, if any. You need to put a value there, to sell your cards, but you don't need to put .99 cents. You can put anything from 0.01 to 99999.99 if you wish. Just put whatever the value of the item you'd like to sell/list it for would be. Also "Sale Price" during the batch listing, would simply add that price to all of your listings in that batch, until or unless you change them before you export your cards. For example, if I am listing 50 Brett Favre cards, and I feel the majority are base cards, I'll put the "Sale Price" during the batch listing at 1.99, this way the 50 cards I list already have $1.99 sale price added to them. Then from their during the inspection phase, I can change prices up or down as needed on cards that require it. Hope this helps!

Thank you very much for explaining this. Great videos and I look forward to more of your content. I would like to request a video of all scanner card settings for the fi-8170 for chrome vs. Refractor vs. Paper, vs. Prizm vs. Patch cards.

What scanner are you using? If it's a flat bed, then it will only have Front Side and you'd have to manually flip it over to scan the back side (while "Front Side" is selected within PaperStream as your only option. If it's the 8170 like in the video, did you download the TWAIN driver @ 2:30? Either way please reply and let me know so we can get to the bottom of this!

Hey @ashleyhitchon3948! You get 500 free scans during the Card Dealer Pro One Week free trial. Hope this helps and thanks for watching!

Hey man, first, amazing name! When you open the 8170 at the top, there is a little black arm that can be removed if it's what is causing the problem. Also, have you removed the roller within the scanner? My video did not go over that part, as that was/is intended to be included in the Advanced Guide (which I hope to release soon!). Please let me know if I can be of any more help!

@@MontereySportsCards2thanks for your reply. Yeah, I removed the rollers at the front of the scanner but I was still getting the lines but just on the back of the cards. I seen a video from Ricoh about maintenance of the scanner and there is 2 glass strips inside of the scanner, one for the front and one for the back. I gave that a quick clean with some IPA and the streak lines have now resolved, woohoo! I did notice that taking out the roller did make the scans go quicker. I’ll look forward to your advanced video, great content and very informative video, thank you ☺️

That is correct. This was all done with PaperStream Capture, not the Pro version. Hope this helps!

Yes it works for Mac! Follow the instructions at 2:19 and instead of selecting Windows 10 like I do, select the appropriate Mac OS. It supports Catalina 10.15 up to Sonoma 14. Hope this helps!

@@MontereySportsCards2 gotcha thank you was worried with some of the reviews about it not working with Mac on Amazon and other websites.

Hi @carriemiechlich258 Have you made sure your batch is changed from Draft to Ready to List? Are you selecting 'List' or 'Export' in the upper right hand corner of CDP? Is this your very first attempt, or have you previously been listing cards without issue? If you can answer these for me, it might help me to narrow down where the issue might be!

Thank you very much! Real life has kind of taken over, but I plan on finishing the Advanced guide , hopefully sooner than later!

Hello PureTCG! Thanks for watching the video and asking some questions! There is an option within PaperStream Capture called “Vertical Streaks Reduction” try enabling that, if it’s not already. I haven’t dealt with TGC other than a single 50 batch scan, but found no issues with that batch, with Vertical Streaks Reduction enabled. Of course also be sure to clean the rollers and scan area with a soft cloth and rubbing alcohol (90%+) and make sure there are no scratches on the glass or lens itself

Hey Mikey, just seeing this reply, so apologize for my delay! Yes I did remove the internal wheel, and yes you can scan Top Loaders. For anything other than naked cards, you need to remove the internal wheel, that's most likely why you had some damage. I will be putting out an advanced video, hopefully sooner than later that will address that!

I am looking forward to the advanced video on scanning penny sleeves and top loaders. I did prior remove the wheel, tried scanning 8 cards in penny sleeves but jammed after each one.

@@MontereySportsCards2 Thank you for the reply. I removed the wheel and it is scanning top loaders really well. However, the scanner is still damaging naked cards and penny sleeved cards by imprinting/pressing two narrow parallel lines down the center length of the cards. The black spring lever inside the middle of the scanner flap is the culprit. Any ideas how to scan naked cards and penny sleeves without damaging them? Does the wheel need to be in for naked cards and penny sleeved cards?

Absolutely! For Chrome/Prizm I use: Brightness: 128 Contrast: 255 Shadow: 17 Highlight: 255 Gamma: 1.55 Recently I've been toying with the PaperStream Default 004: Color Cards setting, and have been sticking with that, as I can use it for paper cards and chrome cards in the same batch. It makes the Chrome cards a little faded, but overall I'm happy with it. In case you've changed those settings, the default is: Brightness: 128 Contrast: 128 Shadow: 0 Highlight: 255 Gamma 1.00 Hope this helps and any more questions, just ask!

Hey Joe, congrats on your purchase and just getting started! There is no charge for PaperStream Capture. You can opt to purchase the Pro version, but it's not necessary at all to scan cards. Once you get your scanner from eBay, just skip to 1:30 in the video, and follow the instructions to download both the Drivers and PaperStream Capture software, completely free.

Thank you for help have a great day

Andrew, thanks for watching and for your questions! My username on eBay is MontereySportsCards Link: www.ebay.com/str/montereysportscards - Super cool for you to ask and I guess that's something I should put in the description. I do take the roller out, and actually I don't put the roller back in for anything I scan. Naked cards, penny sleeve, top loader, vintage, you name it, I keep the roller out. Stay tuned for the Advanced version of this video which will address the roller issue and much more. As for just scanning cards, yes you can absolutely. You do not need Card Dealer Pro at all to scan and inventory your cards. You can just use PaperStream Capture (or any scanning software you prefer) and catalog your cards within Windows Explorer if using Windows. Hope this helps and any more questions, please just ask!

@@MontereySportsCards2awesome thanks so much. Makes a lot of sense and I will watch for more videos. Super helpful and I really appreciate you taking the time to do these videos! Found you on ebay!

First thanks for having me dig into this a bit. For black border cards, in Scanner Settings, go to the PAGE options and change Output size from Margin to Scanning Area then Width 3.5 and Length 2.5 (If doing a standard size card, in landscape orientation on the scanner) and change priority to Accuracy. You wont' have any margin/background, but your black order cards will be scanned flawlessly and won't be cut off. Hope this helps!

What are some of the issues you're finding? I'm happy to add them into my more advanced guide, as this was just for beginners. I'll be going over what scans with roller in, vs roller out, why landscape orientation vs portrait. How to scan mini, speed vs accuracy setting, paper vs chrome vs lenticular vs acetate, etc...

Thank you so much for the kind words!

That's awesome man, hope it helps. Any questions, just ask and thanks for being my first comment!

Thanks Robin. Thanks for the ride there, in the world's greatest Jeep!

One day, we'll find a way to get you out to Cards HQ Dex!
