Max Hodges, an EBay seller, peddled CDs of electronic files, claiming he was selling images of high-resolution versions.

Hodges said he is also printing and selling cards.
\"My plan is to hit the sidewalk and sell it in gun shops and liquor stores,\" he said . \".
However, it is difficult to find a real deck of the most popular Iraqi playing cards.
Lieutenant Colonel Jim Brooks, a spokesman for the Defense Intelligence Agency, said that initially only \"a few hundred decks\" of printing had been sent to Qatar\'s central command for distribution.
He said that DIA printed the original works at its own printing house before the war began, which were delivered at the beginning of the hostilities.

The cards produced in these wars, he said, feature the contours of enemy planes and are usually sold at today\'s auction for $100.
Mach said the cards were more like real playing cards than the DIA spokesman described.
