Buying/Trading Conditions

I prefer to trade than sell: one normal card for another normal card, and one special card for another special card. However, not all cards are created equal.

Take for example, Macross. I will trade Macross TV/DYRL/2012/Plus cards with other such cards, and Macross II/Game/7 cards with any other Macross cards.

Another example, Final Fantasy Art Museum. In descending order of desirability: CG, portrait, character, monster, movie, illustrations. FF 7 and 8 have higher desirability than the other FFs.

But don't worry about all these. Just send me the cards you want and the cards you want to trade with, and we can sort it out. My wanted list is a good place to start.

My cards are in mint condition and I expect that your cards are too.

Shipping

The first thing you must be willing to do is to ship overseas. That's because I'm in Singapore. However, regular letter post should cost US$1.50 or less.

I will be sending my cards over using regular letter post, uninsured, in a bubble-padded envelope.

We will be responsible for our own postage (for trading).

Technical Notes

The cards are scanned at 200 dpi with de-screening, using a HP ScanJet 8200 flatbed scanner. Each card is 500 x 700 pixels. For speed, nine cards are scanned in one go. They are converted to 142 x 200 pixels, applied USM (50%, 1.2 pixels, 3 pixel threshold), and saved as JPEG, quality 8.

The covers go through the same process. However, they are cropped and saved as JPEG, quality 7.

Tilted cards are rotated back -- it's hard to align the cards properly, even with alignment placeholders. As this is a multi-step manual process, I try to avoid it as much as possible. This is why some cards look tilted; they are! :-D It is most apparent when straight lines are present. Most tilted cards are 0.5 to 0.7 degrees off; the worst was 1.1 degrees off. Anything worse was caught at the scanning preview and the cards re-adjusted.
