Opinion on this Jimmy Foxx photo

[Big Red Machine]

Hello,
I recently picked up this photo and wanted to get some opinions on determining if this was a type 1 or type 2 photograph. I am definitely not an expert in this area. It was advertised as coming from the archives of the Detroit News. The photo appears to have been taken from the 1933 All Star game.

Thanks for any insight you can provide.

KILLER shot Phil. Man, Jimmie looks like such a bad@$$ with his sleeves cut like that.

Did you pick this up from historicimages01? If so, they have a mixed bag of Type 1, 2 and 3 photos. I am no expert on Photos, but I believe Type 1 photos are printed from the original negative no later than 2 years after the photo was taken. Type 2 photos are developed from the original negative more than 2 years later. Type 3 are a copy of a Type 1 (often transmitted over the wire).

I have noticed that it is often difficult to distinguish between Type 1 and Type 3 photos on Ebay.

To me, yours looks like a Type 3 photo, but I don't think I can be positive without seeing the photo in person.

From the UPI stamp I would guess it's a Type II. Probaby from the 1950's-60's.
