Oh Nooo! Do you think this because none have surfaced in over a decade or am I missing the concrete end to their story?

Are you talking about the ones that were auctioned off years ago?

Probably … They haven’t appeared for sale/auction … If I’m not wrong, the dude who won the auction remained anonymous and disappeared from the internet. Otherwise, HitSave would have tried to contact the owner and probably the e-Cards would have been preserved …
Yes, sir …

Here a better picture, taken from that IG:
Wouldn’t surprise me if we’re having a prototypes debacle v2 here, though. Then again, e-Reader cards are very hard to counterfeit from what I’ve heard.
Whether these turn out to be real or fake, it’s cool nonetheless to finally have a better look at these Nintendo Space World 2001 Sample cards/artworks.

These would be easy to find real or fake if you were seeing them in person with a jewelers loupe.
They say one set though. One set of cards we know were mass printed for a convention.
It’s much more likely that have 50+ sets with the way this criminal has hoarded everything

I assume you’re talking about the wall display? Ackchyually 
, that contained two full sets.
And don’t forget to bring an e-Reader.

Yes, actually that’s the way to detect fake e-Cards …
All Japanese e-Cards should be compatible with Card e-Reader 
/e-Reader+ … If the peripheral doesn’t detect data that means that your card is fake.
If you’re worried about damaging the e-Card, you can put the card in a sleeve. The peripheral can read data from sleeved cards (I’ve tried it and it worked)

That’s just the wall. Logic would dictate they made multiple (likely many sheets as you are already paying for a printing) to hole punch, to demo to distributors, or for who knows what other reasons

I wonder how many of these sellers would actually let you test these cards for authenticity using an e-reader? It’s a smart idea but I feel many would just flat out refuse (whether it’s out of fear of damaging the card or to hide the fact that it’s a fake).

There are methods to scan an e-reader without physically swiping it, although not very accessible. I know Hit Save! has something built for it where they can scan in a slab.

I’ve done it with them, it’s basically just taking a few very high quality scans and then compositing them together
