... they were part of my eBay descriptions.

Besides, they were just basic scans of rare plaques and chips without any added attractiveness (artwork) to heighten or improve the images/pieces... and they were probably not copyrightable because of this.... and the reason why I'm no longer able to use my original scan is because my scan is now in a copyrighted publication. I would need the permission of the publisher to use it.
