Scan #10000

 I hit a little milestone last night...my new scanner hit 10, 000 scans. I'm not sure I can really call it a new scanner anymore, I've had it since 2019 so it's now 4 years old...but it's still the new scanner to me.  

Granted, that number does include the times where the scan was unusable so I deleted it and redid it, so usable scans is a considerably lower number. Just earlier that night it took 4 scans of one page before I got a usable one so it's less, but even if I didn't use them, the scanner still scanned. 

Scan #10,000 happened to be a full page of 1995 Maxx Crown Chrome, an-all clear plastic card set that gets very sticky, which is why they are all in penny sleeves. I got about 3/4ths of this set as a PIF in the previous week and I'm working on scanning them. They aren't the most fun cards to scan because the sleeves attract dust but they are too sticky to put on the scanner directly. 

My favorite card here is the Talledega card in the middle, even though it's horizontal. 

By time you read this, I may have gotten these cards cropped down and properly edited/rotated, who can tell since I'm scheduling it? 

One thing about this set that makes it very difficult...Maxx forgot to put the card numbers on the cards! So labeling them requires the checklists (I now have all 4) or the Database. Once I finish cropping these, I will start scanning the new arrivals from COMC.
