Certified as Type 1, maybe 10-20
Ones that should fit the definition of a Type 1 but they can't be 'certified' because there are no back stamps etc.... 50-100 more. These would be "Type 2 c. 1950's" blank backed examples if submitted to PSA, mostly signed by Fein. The odd thing is this photo was taken in 1948 so you can have a c. 1950-52 example and still be a Type 1, but they are VERY stingy and strict with this photograph. Any photography auction house in the world considers a 1955 example just as good as one that was done in 1949/50 (and no way to tell paper difference), but such is the world we live in. Gotta have the stamp on the back!
The photo is not rare at all, it is only "rare" to find one with all the bells and whistles that get it into a PSA holder
