Yes. I describe it below.

Well, which May 9 would you pick since she died?

You bet. So, I don't think she would let that happen, even if she was around 
today. Besides, how could anyone recognize a particular soul in a face? 
And, especially in a picture... Since, as it is said, "The eyes are the windows 
of the soul?" And, since when did a picture have a soul? 

Besides, what evidence do you have that anyone is clairvoyant? All we know 
of that is hearsay and self serving testimony. 

Also, I'm curious to know how anyone could be convinced that anyone else is 
HPB if they didn't know her directly when she was alive? 

Tibetan Tulkus have nothing to do with that. Although, I suppose if we found 
a baby who could pick out HPB's personal possessions from among a big stack 
of varied objects belonging to many people of similar life style, we might be 
convinced that the baby was a reincarnation of HPB. That's how the Tibetans 
find the reincarnated Tulku after their Abbot dies. But, for them, the baby has 
to be conceived at the exact same moment of the Lama's death. That's why all 
the married members of a Tibetan sect practice sustained Tantra sex during 
the time their high Lama is on his death bed. (It's a great honor to be the 
parents of the next Abbot.) And why the monks later tour the country with the 
dead Abbot's religious possesions to find the boy.
