Invitation to Obama's 2009 Inauguration

Original - Invitation to attend the 2009 Inauguration of Barack Obama. The invitations were individually engraved, leaving a raised impression on the front, and an indentation on the back of the sheets. The invitations were produced in a 100% green manner, using recycled paper, by companies certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC).

Reason

A very detailed image of the Invitation to the Inauguration of Barack Obama, showing detaling in the engraving, fibres in the paper, etc, etc. I nominated it at FPC, but due to folding and resulting shadows, and a slight blur near the seal, it was opposed, but I was told to bring it here.

• Support I can support this. It seems to have the EV, if not just the fact that it's an historical curiosity. ~ ωαdεstεr16_{♣kiss me}^{i'm Irish♣} 18:50, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
• Oppose: The invitation is crumpled, has unnecessary shadows. A better copy of invitation must be present. Or at least a better photo of the same.--Redtigerxyz ^Talk 15:37, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
• Oppose per Redtigerxyz. This is an easy target, and out of the million invitations, more than half should be in good shape. ZooFari 17:31, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
• Oppose It has no EV. Just a piece of memorabilia, one of millions. Article explains nothing encyclopedic about it. Fletcher (talk) 03:26, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
• Oppose Too low quality for an easily replaced image.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 04:51, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
