I started writing this post thinking that we had reached a milestone by having people use our scans on ebay.
eBay Item number: 120150396189 Cal Ripken – Fleer 1988 Card #570

However, the real milestone is that google has started ranking pages on our site as more relavant than similar matches on eBay, craigslist, and Beckett.com. I think that is pretty good company!
If you take the description of the eBay auction mentioned above, “Cal Ripken – Fleer 1988 Card #570″, and search google for it, you will find that the #1 & #2 hits are now our site. #3 & #4 are eBay, #6 is craigslist, and #9 is Beckett.

This auction happens to be starting at $2.00 for a card you can buy from our site for $0.50.

Wait and see checkoutmycards is the Next EBAY mark my word. Ebay scanning is not even close to Checkoutmycards. This is just the start of the climb up.
