PSA/DNA Photograph Type Classification

  • Type I - A 1st generation photograph, developed from the original negative, during the period (within approximately two years of when the picture was taken).
  • Type II - A photograph, developed from the original negative, during the period (more than approximately two years after the picture was taken).
  • Type III - A 2nd generation photograph, developed from a duplicate negative or wire transmission, during the period (within approximately 2 years of when the picture was taken).
  • Type IV - A 2nd generation photograph (or 3rd or later generation), developed from a duplicate negative or wire transmission, during a later period (more than approximately two years after the picture was taken).
  • Type 1 photographs are the most desirable and valuable of the four photograph types because of their vintage and originality.
  • Type 3 photographs are commonly reffered to as "Wire Photos".
  • Many Type 4's were issued after 1970, either for latter-era publication of earlier original images or for the general public consumption.
  • Duplicate negatives are produced by taking a photograph of an existing original photograph thereby creating a second negative that is of inferior quality to the original
  • All photograph types are collectible; a Type 3 photograph of a Hall of Famer Mickey Mantle may be worth considerably more than a Type 1 photograph of a common player from the 1920's.
