After reading this thread for the first time, I spent six months obsessively looking to acquire this card. Since adding it, I've spent more time than I care to admit to looking at it under intense light, and magnification, and then rereading the discussion again. And I have to agree with the near consensus the other members came to after seeing the newspaper picture. It's him.
Now, will a publication ever take the bold step of identifying the center panel including him? We shall see. But I love my card, whether or not he's ever identified, because it has generated a lot of great discussion on the forum. So, the card will remain special to me.
