New collector here. Wanna see my cards?

Well now that you've made it this far I should probably mention that they are all Padres cards. But wait! Before you click back, give me a shot. I just got back into collecting earlier this year and I think I've amassed a nice little starter collection of new Padres cards. Let me know what you think.

2010 Topps Tribute Adrian Gonzalez cards

2010 Topps T206 cards

Mat Latos 1/1 Blank Back from Topps Vault

Red Bazooka back #3/25

Latos gold chrome # /50

Venable Silk Cycle #1/50

Plus other 206 cards: Gonzalez Old Mill, Venable Polar Bear, Gonzalez SP, Bronze team set, etc

Durango will probably end up being a bust but oh well....

Plus a Durango Umbrella back # /25

Orange Ref /25

Is there a rule on having too many images? Bear with me while I make sure all the formatting is ok...

I know a lot of these cards aren't terribly impressive, but keep in mind I have a hard time justifying spending over $50 for a single card.. at least right now. hah.

Speaking of which...

It's like Topps knew all along.

Oh to be a Padres fan <3

Also, what's wrong with my scanner? Should I increase the DPI or save as png as opposed to jpg? What about all the blemishes? Almost all of them are from the scanner.. and I even cleaned it beforehand. Is there nothing else I can do about it? Some of those cards look awful on here but gorgeous in person (like the Gonzalez 1/1).

So are there any other Padres collectors here?

300DPI and save as a png.

Thanks, I will adjust the settings when I re-scan.
