Best technique to scan bezels

I've bought 2 rare bezels and they are sitting in my closet because the places I have around here which have big scanners are unable to scan them, because the cardboard is too thick and it won't pass through their scanners without damaging the bezel and/or the scanner itself!
SO I guess I'll have to scan them myself at home using a flatbed scanner. The problem here is that all these scanners have raised borders around the glass which is a PITS! Please, give me some advice on how can I scan these things without bending the bezel too much, so the final images won't get distorted. Any tips are welcome.

I think most people use a hand scanner and then stitch the images together in PhotoShop. This is the method that has to be used for sideart on cabs, etc.

For an excellent DIY reproduction, I like to take a very high resolution photograph, import it into Adobe Illustrator and convert the image into vector format. That way you can resize, recolour, change anything possible.
Or import it into Adobe Photoshop. You can also get rid of any age discolourations, damage, etc. Or if you're a retro-addict like myself, you can ADD discolourations, damage, cigarette burns etc
Best of luck to you!
