Anyone know what these cards are?

Great story.

It's almost never hard to glue a fake photo to a real mat...or to glue a real one to a real one, where the two don't belong together.

This is really about whether or not these are real photos, pictures or images cut from a non-card product (book or broadside) (Damn, I'm getting tired of repeating myself - anyone care to star reading so I don't have to?), as opposed to something that was created more recently with the intent to deceive. The latter is probably the case (again, repeating myself for at least the third time ).

Later guys - I've said the same thing too many times in the last two days, and have better things to do than to talk with the wall.
