I have never met Henry in person but have bought many things from him. I have heard nothing but good things from him and about him. I think the "type 1" v. "Type 2" classification system is a good attempt at providing some classification system to the Wild Wild West of photos, but I just think that the 2 year thing is too arbitrary for me. Why is a 1922 photo about the 1919 Black Sox Scandel considered a "Type 2", the same as a photo used in 1972 to talk about the same event? I think it should be 5-10 years as long as the paper stock is the same as was used when the item was originally shot but that is just me.
