Has anyone tried scanning the original cards yet? If it just recognizes the picture than the picture could be anywhere. I'm USA so still 26 days to go till mine. Think about future updates look at your new Nintendo Power mag and stuff pops up in 3d when viewed threw the 3ds cam.
No particular need to scan the cards, a PDF with the images of all the cards is available from the Nintendo site:

They can be resized and printed just fine

Instead of criticizing the poor guy, why doesn't someone actually try the AR cards out? You never know, they might work.

No. They won't work. Technology doesn't work with imagination.

No. They might work. Technology doesn't work with imagination. It works with codes embedded in the card.
It won't show Ben10, but it might show Mario.

Imagination is the fuel of ideas, not of technology.

If you think they won't work? Why you can't just print these custom AR cards, and play in AR Games app? Then, take a photo of your 3DS with the custom AR card?

Because the system is not programmed to recognize said cards.

Think of the AR card as basically an icon on your desktop to an app. When you take a picture of it, it looks to see which app the card is associated with and launches that application. You can create your own icons, but without the application in the system, the icon can't do anything.

I can see some interesting applications with this. Though I hope we dont' see a Zelda game with an AR app that requires you to see Tingle in 3D to get directions or something.

there need to be three things in order for custom cards to work

1. A card that is associated with a certain model, and contains a unique identifier.
2. A 3D model contained somewhere on the system / game cartridge
3. A software that identifies the card and renders the appropriate 3d model on top of it

so i can see this working out, as long as you somehow meet all three criteria.
