A quick walk through some dark Parkhurst

First just a quick share of some Thanksgiving cards that are not so dark. The only cards I took out of the 1991 O Pee Che Premier baseball were additional Jays dupes...



When it comes to scanning cards, you can't always get a great scan (though I know Billy at A Cardboard History has some great instructions for anyone interested). I think that I can probably get these a bit better, but with a lot of fidgeting - older scanner that just has some...flaws...

Highlights:

The scans make the background look almost like a flat black background instead of the reflective/silver circle design with emerald green edging around those circles. Can't always win the scanning, but still feel like a win with the cards. These are a decent set, shiny and good cardstock, and not too many in my collection yet.

The rest
Traders:


Again, no other keepers unfortunately., and many of the usual suspects here.

Through 9800 cards:

  1. Thanks for the plug! Mirror foils are the worst. I just got a card from that same Parkhurst set that needs a scan for the Database but I have put it off because I don't enjoy doing them.

    1. It's a great write up and helpful. I hear you on not enjoying scanning those ones.

  2. I have about 5 pages of football cards total, so it's weird to see a couple on another blog that are actually in my collection.
