Fair enough. But give us the whole story!

thanks for all the insight and tracking down the RMY auction! Should be back from PSA in a few days... not familiar with Vintage 1 Designation by RMY...

From RMY:

VINTAGE 1
This is an original photograph produced from the original negative within approximately five
years of the photographer taking the photo. This is a subjective analysis on the years involved
but offers a better window of time to be safe than other systems which say it is limited to "2
Years" but in many cases authenticate based solely on stamps and back marks would could be used for up to 10 years. We have not arbitrarily come up
with this number. After viewing over 2,000,000 photographs we feel that it offers a better window for paper and back stamp analysis
when concrete dates and paper captions are not present.

thanks Brendan. I looked and it looks like they have a WIRE classification as well. Curious to what PSA will come back with since RMY didn't come to that classification.

Keep us updated, very curious as to what PSA will say. Sticking with my guess of type 3 but definitely could be wrong.

I have the same shot but the more traditional one of him on the steps. And the image is 15 times sharper than this. I now recall when this went to auction and there was something about it that seemed off to me. The fact that it went for under $600 suggests a lot of other people had the same feeling.

Looks like it came back as a type III.

Still a great and important photo, good luck with the sale!
