Sorry a photo copy wont work. I have just come back from a cruise. They checked everything. First my expired Greencard. Then i gave them my l-751. They checked to see if it was the original Copy.Then they wanted to know why i had payed for a new card. I told to remove the condition. Then he wanted to know when i entered the Usa the first time and where. He asked me for my passport then. He checked through it. Matched the photos up on my Greencard and passport. Then he asked for my marriage certificate. He asked what my names was before my marriage. Then he stamped my passport to admit me back into the USA.He said welcome back have a good day.

So dont go without the documentation.

Apparently it works for some people because the OP has since gone to the U.K and returned to the U.S. with the photocopy. She also mentioned how the IO at the POE didn't seem bothered that it wasn't original. It seems it depends on who you encounter at the POE I guess.
