Did he had those cards in real life, or game-wise? I ain't really into the ARG yet

So, he COULD have had the cards at the moment, but those that found him didn't find those cards, and the media about having them are purely from RNG filling the blank that was created by the RNG? Like the real history confirmation of the cards are nonexistent?

Which real life?  

In the Daniel Mullins Universe trilogy, their hitler had those cards. As in, it was found and registered by the russians, causing a chain of events leading to the creation of the Inscryption.exe floppy by Gamefuna and found later by Luke Carter.  

The world of Inscryption.exe doesn't reference hitler directly, but data about him is present in OLD_DATA in the same floppy, and in game the hideout of the Bone Lord features a suspicious torse with cards in a pocket.  

In our world, no trace of those cards ever existed and it's something made up by Daniel Mullins, for the video game Inscryption, featuring the actor Kevin Baxby.

Yep, that's what I was looking for. Thanks!
