OT.

I picked this one up off ebay.
I'm not sure if I should call this a type 2 or 4, and would like some opinions.
The earliest date stamp combined with the paper mean the pic was not printed near the time of the even, Hence type 2 or 4.
The thing that trips me up is the detail in the picture. If the print is from the original neg, it would be a 2. If from a copy negative, a type 4.
One of the things that really drew me to it was the image quality. It certainly doesn't look blurry, like a typical copy negative print.
The price was right, so it isn't that important to me that it has to be a type 2. Any opinions?

I don't believe that I've seen your Kreindler Iron Horse before, but it's nothing less than spectacular! Congrats!

You must love displaying it on your wall...

Jimmy,
I looked at yours a couple of days ago to compare. I think it's pretty close. I focused on 3 spots. I looked at the pinstripes, the forehead, and the thumb of the hand by his face.
My pic's pinstripes a crisp and sharp as are yours.
Both foreheads have great detail in the wrinkles. Mine has more brightness washout by his hairline. Is this because it's a picture of a picture or differences in the way the pictures were developed? I don't know.
In your pic, the wrinkles on the joint of his thumb aren't very clear. On mine, you can each one. How could a copy image have more detail than the original?

As I said, it doesn't matter to me as a collector which it is, I am just looking for some education on this.

This is a great painting. I think you showed a pic of this on your wall, a couple years ago.

Best,

Geez, Lombardi was sure one beast of a guy. Retrosheet has him listed as 6'3" 230 lbs, but he looks 7' tall in this photo. Lots of short guys on both teams.

Was the trophy he received for winning a batting championship, or what was the occasion if you know?
