I thought I would have ago looking for the articles that could have made up this card.

Wow, great work Cragle! His use of the County Sun could verify his link to Riverside.

I have a feeling all of what this person cut & pasted, came from the S.F. Chronicle. Not to say it didn’t come from one of those articles, since we have the AP.

It could probably be verified by soaking the card to remove the glue, and then compare the printing on the back of those snippets.

Obviously that would destroy the card though.

Marshall, I would think there are non-destructive ways to see the images on the back of the clippings, though cost-prohibitive most likely.

Look at the technology they use to verify paintings in galleries or to see missing and hidden fragments of the dead sea scrolls.

If that would work, that would be neat, although not sure how much value it would be to know what publications were used. With all those elements assembled on that card, wouldn’t it seem likely there would be some DNA trapped in some of that glue?
