Nice chips. I'd gladly pay $13.82 for either! With all the ashtray, matchcover and postcard eye candy you've posted on here, I'm tickled to death you're getting into chips.

As for your scans, have you tried scanning at a higher resolution and then reducing the size to what you want after it's scanned? I scanned the chips below at 450 dpi and then reduced the size to what it is now.
