Hey all, Looking for a good cheap camera for taking pictures of cards and listing on ebay. Also a label printer. I've been using my phone but think it's time to step it up a bit. Any other advice for taking pics of cards (background etc)


Any suggestions?

Thanks!

What's wrong with taking photos using your phone?

I use my phone which is more than enough for taking photos of cards. However I suggest purchasing a light box from eBay, that way they look nice and crisp with a plain white background or whatever backgrounds they include with it.

I use a light ring attached to my phone. Elevates all my photos and is portable so I can line up all my cards and quickly take pics of them.

As for a printer, I use a Dymo label printer (My model is LabelWriter 450).
Good quality and the software is excellent.
