I will take the good and take the bad…take the both and there I’ll deal with the facts of types.
Just my 1 cent 
Any other thoughts on the type distictions?

To be honest, in most of my auctions I generally use a wire/press blanket designation, mainly for search purposes and to streamline descriptions, but provide nice scans of front and back to let bidders best know exactly what they are bidding on.
If I believe it was printed later then the event in the photo I will add a notation that I think it is a later generation version of the photo.
I've played around with the Mastro designations at times but find they are confusing to most bidders. Most just want to know if the photo is vintage to the image.............period. They can tell other factors from the scans.
