The MLB Photostamp "type 2" is how I've seen some refer to the MLB stamps issued in 1970. They use the same front pictures as the very common 1969 MLB Photostamps, but are 1/8" less wide, and don't refer to an official collector's album on the backs as do the 1969 versions.

I've also heard that some of the Photostamps from both years have either dotted line or solid line variations under the "apply glue here" instructions on the backs, and whichever version is least common may also be described as a "type 2" variation. I don't collect variations, so I don't know much about this - I just want to make sure I don't buy another 1969 stamp when I only need the 1970 one.
