Title: shroud of turin
Post by: monti on January 20, 2006, 12:55:45 AM

I have something called a reverse negative picture of the shroud. it was a fund raiser given out by my grandmothers church many years ago.  Curious as to its worth.  I would be interested in selling it.  thanks Michael

there's been continuing controversy over the "original" shroud of Turin - as to authenticity - a replica would have a limited value to collector's of religious artifacts - $5 - $7.     Best wishes   KB

Give it a good hot wash see what happens, if it stays on must be real.

I strongly urge the original poster to do additional research:

this above would be just the first place to start - If the design survives the "hot water wash" it does not mean that it was the shroud of the deceased Jesus.  It means that a reproduction was made using modern techniques that would be representative of the controversial shroud.
