Yes, I would also like to know the difference! Mears said the Gen 1 photos were w/in days to 5 yrs of the original negative, which I thought was said many times in past discussion of TYPE 1's.

I think Mears tended to use the term "Original", if it was a "Generation 1" of the possible "Type 1" variety.

The extended bidding period is finished now, ja?
There were several stadium shots that I took a run at but none of which I won. I particularly liked the aerial of Gilmore Field and some of the oversized views of Seals Stadium.
I picked up four or five photos, none any great shakes. Best of the group and the one that most fits my collection is this image of old Babe Ruth and a crowd of kids. Also liked the composition of the Yomiuri Giants team picture.
