Specialist Corson examined and classified "crosstown ephemera" (pencils, glasswear, home movies, canvas grocery bags), and specialised in “the known of things hidden, secret and divine both”.

He was killed by persons unknown during examination of file 8553 in Messy Business (Pt 4).

Known Examinations

File 8338

A paper flyer for the Citywide Film Festival (cream-coloured, heavy stock, single page, lime green design elements described as “gaudy”, black text), condition: moderate wear (very good), $25 at auction, $40 for urgent buyer, not made in Blough City (imported into the city due to design elements of font choice and colour not meeting cultural requirements), suitable for the “unique collector” who views having the object itself as “it’s own use” rather than the object being useful

File 8421

Blough City Lot 92-338, a collection of photographic equipment (walnut coloured carry case with shoulder-strap and stainless steel clasp, brown and silver camera, two lenses, a pair of brown and silver binoculars) additional accessories from some kind of portable darkroom (tiny pots of chemicals, little desk), condition: mixed (camera shows heavy use/damage to leather and metal, but is operational, lenses in mint condition, binoculars in good shape), price: 400 to start, 15-20 incremental bids, 650 up front (minimum), look for buyers with “a penchant for the classics”. Items found on a rooftop in The Thicket near to where Blake Blossum was found, the items are Concern tech and can be used to identify agents, peels and “other business types like us” and so price should be increased if selling to a “cross-towner”, or they could just get rid of it because “sometimes it’s better for rare goods to leave circulation”.

File 8504

Examination of the teardrop coup (nice curves, powder blue, cream interior, manual, rough tires, dirt and “unclassified blood” on the undercarriage of the car) which distresses him as he does not have the diagnostic tools to properly examine the car and says that they will need an expert if they want more details, price $7k listed in blue book but more likely $5400 with wear and tear.

File 8553

Police evidence lot BB-2019-22 (a little blue box with a bunch of little plastic baggies of miscellaneous items (lighter, forks, knives, keno ticket, plate with the symbol of a pair of dice and a crown on it that appears to have been eaten of it and not washed, a bag of scrambled eggs from a casino buffet, a wallet (containing ID (burned), validated parking ticket (mostly burnt), ‘eat fresh’ loyalty card (unburnt), electric key card for a hotel room not located in Bluff City, where he assumes the other items are from) - half the items are burnt).
