What does one use to hold the stamps will scanning? What I am asking what does one mount the stamps to to allow scanning to take place?

John,

I usually use a black stock card, stock page, or Showgard mount to protect the stamp while in the scanner and then crop accordingly. I use Supersafe museum grade holders when scanning covers.

I use Hagner or Prinz stock pages.

I have tried placing the stamps directly on the glass with
the lid open which creates a slightly sharper image but
isn't worth the effort IMO.

Been trying different things with the help I have gotten here. I just place the stamps on the flat bed scanner glass and either scan open or closed with different color backgrounds. I'm still working on the picture quality.
