The market will determine the value of your photos. As to the classification, what we are discussing is beyond Types. Someone mentioned earlier, "souvenir," which is very appropriate. This would cover team issue, Jay Publications and the photos with script "autographs."
Photos used for advertising, like the Rawlings 8x10s from 60 years ago....They should simply be classified as "advertising."
There was a Ruth photo, classified as a Type II earlier in this thread. The photo is perfect, that's the only way you can describe it, but its value is diminished, quite unfairly, because of when it was printed. I don't get it.
Once again, the market will eventually shake all of this out.
