[QUOTE="2manybooks, post: 4362106, member: 8267"]I have been trying to think of a simple way you might be able to date the paper(s) involved. Do you have a black light? Fluorescent whitening agents began to be used in papers made after 1947. If one or the other side of the card fluoresces, it would indicate the paper was made after that date. But whoever created it may have been clever enough to use old stock paper for the Jesse James side. It does seem more likely that it is a fabrication, as I cannot think of a legitimate reason that an "older" card would have been pasted on top of a newer card.[/QUOTE]
