Maybe he does have the cards, but just waits for the right scans to pop up from other people to sell his cards.
Usually scammers go for the grand slam home run. This guy dragged a bunt down the first base line with the cards he's put up. Scanners aren't expensive. If he actually does have cards to sell, this makes him look really bad.

Normally I'd agree, but he answered a question without ever saying that the card pictured was not the card someone would receive.
Regardless, he stole a scan from my auction... Perhaps he is one of the scammers that tries to go under the radar with 1 or 2.

Probably my very best T-card purchase was from a seller who used MY SCANS. They really didn't have a scanner but they listed cards that were never cataloged so I knew they were for real.

His response to my message:
Go ahead and contatc ebay u fu***** fa****. I didnt realize that using your scan was a violation of ebay policy. I was selling the same exact card at the same grade. Give me a ********** for that you ****sucker. So, apparently his only crime is that he is, well, how do I say it, on the lowest part of the totem pole that represents intelligence. His second claim to idiocy is that he is vulgar. He should be caged! Leon: let me know if I need to clean it up at all, I wasn't sure what to do for some of his kind words. For that last nice bit of professionalism he exhibited, I wanted to have the 2nd part of the kind word in there as to not possibly hint that he used a different choice word with a very similar suffix...

slimpimpin84. Now that sounds like a name you can trust
 Funny how this idiot would get mad at you & cuss at you because you didn't like him using a scan of your card to "pimp" his trash. LOL Sincerely, Clayton

The T90 Nature series by La Marquise Cigarettes are very unusual cards of birds from around 1910. What makes them unusual is that they have actual bird feathers from the named bird glued onto the card (i.e. the peacock card has real peacock feathers). Clearly a highly labor-intensive, scarce, and easily damaged card. About 12 years ago there were only 7 cataloged cards in the set. As recent as 2 years ago there were only about 15 cataloged cards. They were numbered and the highest was "30" so it was believed that 30 different examples were made. About 6-7 of them were shown on the non-sports page right here http://www1.coe.neu.edu/~dan/T90/go.html - updated recently. I had 4 examples and paid over $200 for each. An auction appeared a little over 2 years ago with 40 cards from the set. At that time only about 30 total examples were known (and most were owned by a well-known Set Registry collector on this site), so this effectively doubled the known population if real. The red flags were obvious, a seller with a feedback of zero, and the scans were from the non-sports site of which I currently owned 2 of them. What made me think the auction was real was the list of the 40 cards included the ones I knew were correct along with some new ones. Only an advanced collector of the set, of which there were none, could have gotten this right. The auction ended the same night as the Legendary Live auction so flew under the radar when I took a chance and won them. After a dozen unreplied emails and 6 weeks later, they arrived and were real, doubling the known population. Oddly enough this auction caused another lot of around 20 to appear boosting the known population to around 90 cards, with the most having 5 examples known. One of the cards is still unknown and one has a population of 1 (think E107 Breisch-Williams rarity). After trading the dupes, I have 24 of the 30 different, someone else also has 24, another collector has 21, and another collector about 12. Everyone else shares the remaining 9 known cards. Side note: Some of the cards are for birds that have feathers that are illegal to own in the US, except that these cards were produced a few years before the Department of the Interior laws made them illegal - i.e. they are grandfathered in as legal.
