All of these cards have sold, but I hadn't noticed the follow-up posts until just now, and wanted to respond to this comment.

With high-end cards like these, I didn't want to take nice scans and post them online, allowing either (as was suggested) that someone could just add the cards to their registry, or (as I would fear) allow an unscrupulous party to grab the scan and create a listing to try and scam someone into a bogus purchase.

So instead, I posted a crappy picture here, blocked out the serial number and put my username across each card.

To any potential buyers who responded to me, they received a nice clear scan without my editing to each picture, as was done to the public picture.

I wouldn't take these measures with a $50 card, but with cards that are $10K+ each, I wanted to add a little extra security and not potentially allow a scammer to get any ideas.

Hope that logic addresses any of the questions / concerns anyone may have had. I know the happy purchaser of all three is quite pleased....
