I have moved onto using the Ricoh/Fujitsu Scanners now. The Epson is not a bad product and got the job done for the price point ( listed around 15,000 card with it) but it doesn't really work for cards in top loaders which even the lower cost fi-8040 does (although its a bit more than the Epson). -Ricoh (formerly Fujitsu) FI-8040 Document Scanner (lower cost): amzn.to/3O8ZAqk -Ricoh (formerly Fujitsu) FI-8170 Document Scanner (higher cost): amzn.to/44Gr0cw -Ricoh (formerly Fujitsu) SV600 Overhead Scanner (for Graded Cards and Patch Cards/RPAs): amzn.to/43kkwis
I put all cards in top loaders to prevent damage. How much time can you save if you still have to organize and insert pics and descriptions on eBay. It doesn't automatic sort pics and descriptions. I can imagine having to search through 1000s of pics on a computer to find the player you want versus taking a few photos we a phone.
I have scanned several hundred 35pt top loaders through my ES-400 II. I use the manual feed method and have zero issues with the wheel out and double feed settings off. Thanks to your first video showing the double feed setting I kept my scanner. I had it packed up and the return process started. Thank you

Hey Jmac Thanks for the video's as normal. I found a little better way to scan the Chrome card so they don't look back. So when you go to settings. Click > Advanced Settings then put the Brightness to 90% to 100%, Contrast 0 and the Gamma to max which is 3.0 then click save. Then scan a chrome card see if its better. I spent a couple hours messing around and this is what works the best for my ES 400. Hope it helps you some. Being you help me a lot with all the video's. Thanks
Subscribed recently and bought this scanner a couple of weeks ago replacing my sheet feed scanner. Did find that if you rotate the chrome cards sideways it would usually get rid of the white lines. Great video.
I think I figured out how to get rid of the scan lines. I just purchased this scanner a week ago and I was about to rip out my already thin hair after persistent scan lines. After A LOT of trial and error, I discovered that this scanner is SUPER sensitive to any sort of dust particles. It's amazing how much dust can land on the glass after each scan (or how much is even on the penny sleeves). I have a micro fiber cloth and air duster can ready after each scan and if I notice a line, I see where it would line up in the glass, wipe it off/blow it off and re-scan....removing the lines...at least for 1 or 2 more scans then I have to repeat the process over again, lol.
Very helpful video, I currently have an Epson V-600 that I use, its good in that I can scan thicker cards, but it does take longer only being able to do a couple of cards at a time. I'm going to have to look into one of these when I finally get to the point where I can scale up my listings from where I am currently.
I have a Cannon. It won't let me do anything with penny sleeves. I have noticed once in a while the newer card will have a little mark on it. I probably need to change scanners..
thank for the video been using a printer/ scanner combo im lucky to get 50 card up a day with listing been looking at get this to grow faster. thanks for the info to make up my mind
For me its a keeper :) I've scanned about 4.5K cards with it so far and been mostly happy with the process/results. Some cards will come out dark (reflective silvers don't do well) but overall, the scans usually look nice. Cheers, Julien
Just wanted to say thank you so much for this info. I just bought one and it has changed the game. But just so everyone knows it did not work at first till I changed the settings that you recommended then it is work amazing on the nba monopoly cards. So thanks again for the great video
I really enjoyed this video and just ordered this model of printer. Up till now I was using my iPhone to take pics of my cards but it began getting time consuming. Do you have any tips for saving time getting your ads up?
Awesome video. 👍Im using the fujitsu 7130 and it seems identical to your epson. I find that that the BCW penny sleeves work best for all cards. Placing tcards in sideways works best without the roller, It may help minimize jamming.
Thanks for the video here. Invaluable information. I know nobody gives a shit but been selling on eBay since 2004 when I was a teenager. Probably 30k sales over the years. Haven't sold a card since like 2008. The info here is to the point and great!
I noticed this same exact line appearing on cards @12:51 down the left side of the card when scanning with no penny sleeve. I supposed I Will be using penny sleeves feeding 1 by 1
Just practice with common cards. my first scan was a 2018 topps ohtani moment with the penny sleeve. it crumbled and scratch the card. i should gotten out the wheel.
Hi JMac, this video is certainly appreciated, I think you've convinced me to move forward with getting this scanner. Is there any chance on doing something similar with your Card Dealer Pro experience? I'm still not certain about it but I'm getting close, thanks!
JMac! Appreciate your content! Your videos documenting the experience with this scanner have inspired me to purchase this Epson (through your link) if it doesn’t deliver too late I will be setting up tonight. I’m just a lover of the hobby since I was s kid, not a full time seller, but love the idea of being able to do what you do someday. Keep up the great work, sir!
Also, I am curious what made you decide to go with Card Dealer Pro vs. Kronocard? I’m having a hard time deciding on that as I’m getting started. Thanks man!
Use Interface and Usability on CDP is top notch. Tried Kronio very late 90’s desktop application style of platform that’s not as intuitive or user friendly
@@bradmoore5992 SAME HERE!! I just stumbled upon Kronozio 2 days ago and now CDP as of yesterday so now I'm like "which one should I use?!". I have seen other comments about the UI on Kronozio being a bummer but you get used to it the more you use it (understandably). Good luck deciding!!
Can anyone tell me if there is the ability to see the measurements for the item you’ve scanned? I was hoping there was a way to show a measurement bar next to the photo for size.. is this an option? Thank you!
Been using the ES-400 for a couple months now - love it! I actually do the 1 by 1 feed style for everything instead of stacks haha it is tedious. Curious how you clean yours? I open the latch and use a micro fibre every couple hundred scans. Any insight is appreciated!
I blow it out first just blowing in the machine LOL (could use a air spray can as well) then I use like you a micro fiber cloth and wipe all the rollers, mirrors, and glass carefully at first to get off any particles, then get a little more aggressive after I know there is no particles that are could scratch anything.
Nope no damage with the wheel in on paper stock I tried demonstrating that in this video where I showed the card holding up angled in light in this video.
I have maybe 10,000 sports cards, most are in storage boxes while a couple thousand are in penny sleeves and top loaders. I've watched several of your videos on different scanners. I was wondering if you had a recommendation for an inexpensive scanner that would scan all the cards in Jpeg format so I can use a software to upload to sites to try and sell. Any help would be appreciated. I am on a seriously tight budget but I don't have time to put one card at a time then flip it over to scan the backside.
Thank you. After sending you that question, I found a new 8170 for 600 dollars and decided to get it. I really enjoy your videos and have/am learning from you. Thank you
@JMac Sports Cards no quicklist is a program you can use from tcgplayer if you have pro. It was released like 5 to 7 years ago and it supported flat scanners and the ix500 scansnap and Webcam. They bought out a company that made a sorter, the roca sorter a 25k machine and made a scanner app. Now quick list only "supports" Webcam but some scanners still get recognized and are able to be used like the scansnaps. I was hoping that the epson one would be "supported" but sadly it's not and with ebay buying tcgplayer I can definitely see them releasing a program like quicklist that id's cards and places them into your inventory. I feel like the ix1600 scansnaps are going to get more expensive, the ix500 and ix1500 you have to tape or sand parts down so it doesn't scratch the cards.
@JMac Sports Cards Did you have to adjust the naming convention of your JPEG image files? I emailed Alex at CDP because I was having issues of the correct front/back images not matching up. For instance, the front and back of a card would be different when uploading the images into CDP. Did you experience this and have to change file name settings? Thanks man!
Thanks buddy. I appreciate it. I actually just pulled the trigger on a Fujitsu 8170 about 19 minutes ago. Found a new one for $650. I think with the amount of inventory I have, it will pay for itself in a short time. Feels risky, but from all the reviews I see/read-it is just far superior to anything else on the market. I’m excited for your review of it!
Your videos are very thorough so i thank you a lot for that. I want to buy this scanner, also upgrade ebay so i can post much more cards BUT i was wondering how much card dealer pro costs. To be honest i have tons of cards i am trying to sell but i am not selling many at all because i guess i am over pricing them and i charge .99 for PWE. Do you know if card dealer pro gives you a general idea on the selling price of the cards. I check center stage, 130 point and ebay comps but unlike u i dont sell crap. LOLOLOLOL Thanks in advance and keep up the great work.
Jmac! Ty for the video. I stopped dealing with cards for a few years work became to much to deal with and cards. I have an epson 510. I took it out to use again and have a diffrent Pc now. I cant for the life of me find the proper software to download! I downloaded the Scanner Driver Utility but that has not done anything. My scanner is connected i can thru the microsoft app (garbage) what is the correct download to be able to use the scanner thru the app? hopefully you can help
You still have to list them online it doesn't automatically do this. What time are you saving? You have to go through 1000s of pics on a computer put them in the right listing.
Not really sure as Ive only used it on Windows, maybe someone else with a Mac will chime in here their experience. But I would think as long as the device works with Mac the experience should be basically the same regardless.
Edit: I was looking at the Epson es-580w which is compatible with the Mac so I think where good their but do you believe it has the same process of removing the wheel like the es400 model so I’m able to scan top loaders etc…? Any information helps as I’ve been in the process of finding the right scanner for my eBay store
I have this scanner and love it but the only problem I have is that there are lines that run on the scans so I’m in the process of trying to figure out how to get it to not do that
Hi JMac, Thank you for pointing me to this great tool -- I got my Epson ES400II last week but it creates clear vertical scratch line on the penny sleeve (similiar to what you observed on yours). I see that the card is fine but the line goes in the image: ~3/4 to the right on the front of the card face image and adding all the time a disclaimer "scratch lines are only on the penny sleeve" gets too much... I tried on couple useless Pokemon cards to scan without the sleeve and with the feeding rollers and the scratch is created on the same place so the issue can't be with the missing rollers... Do you have any ideas on what exact part of the feeding mech might be responsible for creating these scratch lines?
@@JMacSportsCards -- I opened support ticket with Epson and performed a test for them: 1. cleaned the scan path and put a brand new penny sleeve on a card; 2. Scanned the same card 3x; Results are -- very few and very light lines on 1st scan; a few more on the 2nd and even more on the 3rd... In other words I need to wipe/clean the Epson ES 400 II after each and every scan which is definitely not an option for a new scanner with ~1K scans total... Most likely this one will go back to Epson too
I’m just making honest reviews on stuff and the Epson for the price point is perfectly fine and has my eBay up to over 10k listings and have sold around $30,000 plus worth of cards that were scanned through it in just under 6 months. I could be like some folks and only be all positive or all negative but I prefer to be non bias and honest and talk about the pros and the cons. Most folks, as proven by the success of my two videos on the epson, don’t want to spend $1000 on a scanner, it’s unnecessary unless it’s in the budget. Have a great day.
@@JMacSportsCards yea ik but I myself have used both. The Fujitsu is far superior. Sold 15 thousand cards last year and the amount of hassle that the Epson has is a time waste. I get it if you have a limited budget but if your biggest bottle neck is not inventory and your trying to get through the most cards with the least problems the Fujitsu is the way to go. Pats for itself in a month and I need the tax deduction anyways lol

It definitely doesn't scan in thick cards. I've tried no card holder and no card sleeve. Thick cards will get stuck, just an fyi
This is true, I use the overhead scanner for thick cards/jersey cards.
I just bought this yesterday. I’ll hold off on opening it until I see what you have to say.

In other words I need to wipe/clean the Epson ES 400 II after each and every scan which is definitely not an option for a new scanner with ~1K scans total... Most likely this one will go back to Epson too
I have a $1000 dollar a month eBay business which ain't much but I do it for fun. And I don't use a scanner.
Right on, no right or wrong way to do this really. Thanks for watching and commenting!
just buy the fujitsu lol. so much easier than the rickydink epson
I’m just making honest reviews on stuff and the Epson for the price point is perfectly fine and has my eBay up to over 10k listings and have sold around $30,000 plus worth of cards that were scanned through it in just under 6 months. I could be like some folks and only be all positive or all negative but I prefer to be non bias and honest and talk about the pros and the cons. Most folks, as proven by the success of my two videos on the epson, don’t want to spend $1000 on a scanner, it’s unnecessary unless it’s in the budget. Have a great day.
@@JMacSportsCards yea ik but I myself have used both. The Fujitsu is far superior. Sold 15 thousand cards last year and the amount of hassle that the Epson has is a time waste. I get it if you have a limited budget but if your biggest bottle neck is not inventory and your trying to get through the most cards with the least problems the Fujitsu is the way to go. Pats for itself in a month and I need the tax deduction anyways lol
@@southdaytontradingco I don’t disagree with ya
Which one do you recommend? I've seen a few models floating around.
@@redbirdsjunkie I have the newest Fujitsu 8170? Or something like that
