Question about photo types

is one of the more recent (and exhausting) threads dealing with photo "Typing."

I keep hoping that the "slabbed vs. raw" debates (and/or arguments, mud-slinging, name-calling, etc.) will stay confined to the card side of the boards, but PSA adding photos to their line of plastic-encased opinions continues to stir things up on the memorabilia side.

Doug,
Nice pick-ups, and it sounds like you have a pretty good handle on the guidelines for a photo's "Type" whether you agree with them or not. I think the most important thing is to enjoy your photos, and it sounds like you have a handle on that as well Keep collecting what you enjoy, and I'm sure we'll cross paths again soon.

All,
Let's remember that someone stating their personal preference should not be taken as an attack on those with differing preferences. There is enough infighting in this hobby as it is without villifying each other based on what amounts to preservation and cataloging techniques. Hobbies are supposed to be FUN

Thank you Lance for sticking up for my right to voice my opinion, even though my opinion may be viewed by some as being "silly". Pun intended. Insert smiley face here.

My interest in old photos was stepped up a notch (or three) when Lance (who I did not know at the time, and only know now from the viewpoint of a satisfied customer) put hundreds of Burke photos on ebay a couple years ago.

Doug, I agree!

Lance Fittro has been in the hobby for quite some time, but I became an interested and satisfied regular customer when he became the go to guy for Burke postcards and cool snapshots. I love the images that he continually comes up with. For those who have not purchased from him before, he is a class act and one of the best sellers on eBay. Just my 2 cents....

Thanks for the plug, guys! I must say, it has been a pleasure dealing with you both over the last few years, and I hope to help you guys continue adding neat items to your collections for many more. I'll keep hunting them down if you'll keep buying!

Best,
Lance
