The samples tested in 1988 were not adjacent to the Raes sample. The Ricci sample was and the Vatican still has it.

I love the irony when your linked proof of your false assertion article disproves your assertion:

The Shroud of Turin Samples

The samples distributed to each of the labs involved in the testing were extracted from a corner of the Shroud of Turin directly adjacent to the site of a previous sampling done in 1973 to determine the nature of the Shroud textile - the Raes sample. The original sample extracted measured ~81mm x 21mm and weighed ~478.1mg. Since this sample contained stitching and remnant strands from the previous textile sampling, an ~ 5mm portion of the sample was trimmed from the stitched side, thus removing the stitching and shredded sample remnants. This process resulted in a sample that measured ~81mm x 16mm with a mass of ~ 300.0mg. This sample had one corner that contained a roughly triangle-shaped missing portion that was a residual of the Raes sample extraction. The resulting areal fabric density determined after taking this corner into account was estimated to be ~ 24.1mg/cm2.

The very first sentence in the very first paragraph disproves your claim. Ironic. Do you have difficulty in reading... or is just comprehending what you read?
