No truer statement has been made but value is somewhat determined by rarity and although it is true that this item is extremely rare no matter the Type photo, the difference between Type I and Type III is significant and since I am primarily a seller, it is worth a hundred bucks to get Henry Yee's opinion. I am not concerned about anyone else looking at it as he is their photo authenticator and he signs the LOA. Marshall Fogel was at one time listed as well as an authenticator for photos but he is no longer listed although he may still be used on a consultant basis.
The chances of this photo having been developed from a duplicate negative is slim in my opinion but my opinion is worthless.
Hence, the need for a true expert's opinion that will be accepted by the buying public if I ever sell it.
