Are these Type 1 photos?

Thanks Jimmy. I never knew what type 1 meant. And thanks for the kind words about the Jackie Robinson/MLK photo; it's one of the favorites from the handful of photos I have.

Hello,
Being a collector of Minneapolis stuff I picked this up a couple years ago...it's from when the Millers played in Cuba (Marshall Fogel also had a similar photo, last scan), is there a way to know if it's a type 1 photo?

Thanks!

It looks right, RFM is a Cuban photo service and the stamping looks right. Many photos that come out of Cuba are from the same archive and they have the newspaper cut affixed to the back like yours.

The reason that alot of the info is scratched out on the back is so that the person who brought it out of Cuba could get it through customs. You see that alot on photos leaving Cuba.

The photos of Fidel Castro and the Millers is awesome, very cool indeed!

There's a thin line between love and HATE!
