Images

A person handed me this card (which was / is folded in the middle); I scanned it on a personal copier. The only areas that I redacted (with PhotoShop ™; they are the areas filled in with black) were those that could identify the issuer and / or the holder of the card; there was no copyright notice on this card when I received it or returned it. This person did not wish to be associated with this image. Could you show an example of what you call an "un-redacted" card to prove that some may have a copyright notice? Remember, around Misplaced Pages, we verify. This is the first and only 'new' temple recommend I have seen in person; back a few years I saw them fairly often, but they were a different style then. If you do a Yahoo image search you can see much clearer examples of this card than what I scanned. Duke53 | 04:49, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

That link is a beauty but I neither downloaded nor copied anything from their site; I created this scan personally. Duke53 | 05:20, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
