I have seen a couple wire photo's that look like the editorial info is attached to the front side of the photo, but can't find one now. This seller appears to have a bunch of second generation wire photo's up today. The watermark makes it hard to see the quality of the photo as well. I still haven't found an eBay seller similar to Henry Yee selling photo's right now. But I'll keep looking. Thanks again for all the great feedback! |
Yes, but it is vintage and of the era. I don't really like attaching the term, 2nd generation to of the era wire photos, even if that's technically what they are.
I usually save that term for photos printed at somewhat later point, then the original image was taken.
Most Baseball cards are also considered some form of a later generation print, when it comes right down to it.
