Honestly, that sounds like a load of crap from someone trying to pull a scam. If he was collecting this rare variant, why not ask for more scans or at least ask you about it prior to bidding. I have collected some master sets with variations and always ask on a specific card prior to bidding. Sometime the sellers have no clue, but it's worth it to avoid the hassle of returning a card and all the jazz that goes along with it.
Make sure to examine the returned card extensively.
