Well the "bona fide purchaser for value without notice" doctrine, which applies in many, many jurisdictions assumes the
exact opposite. The consignor in this scenario would take good title to the card and it is the person who was originally scammed who must seek his recourse against the "thief".
This is what I've been driving at - the answer to this question is not obvious and may differ depending on where you live.
