Not sure if this helps, but here are 2 examples of 1st generation. Funny thing is I have 4 different Detroit Tiger copies and 3 different photographers, Holcomb, Seiter, and MacGregor, all Detroit News, 3 are dated 1956, 1 is dated 1954. The Basketball is printed like the one you are looking at, 1975. |

David is the expert regarding photos on this board...take his advice and if you are really interested his books are a must have. Crop marks on a photo often (but not always) are an indicator that it is a first generation photo. Use your eyes, 10x or greater magnification (a dot pattern indicates a copy), and other clues like paper stock to determine a photo's generation. The photo below is a first generation Ernie Nevers from 1925 (International News Photos). A copy of this photo (or possibly this one) was used to make Nevers 1955 Topps All American card. |
