I would like to add a couple of thoughts on this topic. I enjoy vintage pictures and have bought and sold a couple. Regarding PSA, if you pay the extra amount for a LOA in addition to encapsulation you get a lot more information other than what is contained on the label. With just the label itself you receive very little information.
In the example attached, both of Chief Bender, there are a couple of excellent examples that fit this thread.
The snapshot is, and always should be, a type I example.
The photo is a type II. I attached it along with the letter to show the type of information I receive when I also pay for an LOA.
