theres nothing worse than trying to scan foil/chrome/refractor style cards using a digital computer scanner. dont even bother i reckon im tellin ya. so like U said, stick to taking the digital photos. Unless U can blend in the scanned image over the dig pic image, you'll get both effects of the scanner and the camera. other than that, the kobes ... ??? !???? dont know what to say, how about saweeeet!!!
It does look nice - out of all the Panini autos out there that one is probably my favourite, despite being manufactured (I hate manufactured patches)....
