Photograph Authentication: Am I right or Wrong?

To be honest, I think the OP may be overthinking this. These are old collectible commercially sold photos of baseball players. I don't think you should be putting too much time and frustration into what type they are.

They're vintage collectible photos.

David,

I was hoping he would reach that conclusion by what I posted. I completely agree.

Yes, I understand they are Type 3 photos, the truth is that does not matter. The point I wanted to make was, When I asked what I had, most people would say what type of photo, and not what I had. And then when I asked why...Type 3?... The only answer would be because of the names on them.

So I set out to understand how just the text on the photos would make them type 3. Because you can print a photo with names on them right from the original negative, without having to make a second negative. And how the conversation would stop when I asked why, as soon as Type 3 will come up...that was the end, the conversation stop. Thanks John.

Hi all, thanks for all the great information, it is because of this information I now have another question, about the Jackie Robinson photo I have. So I am going to do another post. Titled: Jackie Robinson, the photograph used to produce 1952 Berk Ross Baseball Card? Please keep all the information coming. Thanks, John.
