The Beatles John Lennon Paul McCartney Mid'60s PSA Type II Photo Slabbed

The Beatles John Lennon Paul McCartney Mid'60s PSA Type II Photo Slabbed. Fantastic PSA Type II encapsulated 8" x 10" photo measures and pictures John Lennon and Paul McCartney during a mid-1960s photoshoot, wearing suits. The cool thing about PSA Type II photos is that they are developed from the original negative. They are not created digitally, or from a scan, or printed professionally from the internet or another photo. As Type II photos are developed using the original negative by the photographer, or professionally by the owner of the negative, they are similar to a work of art that has later print runs.

Because they are developed using the original negative, the image quality is excellent. And they are available in the marketplace for much much less than a Type I version.

Based on the paper used PSA has authenticated this photo as a Type II, produced in the 1990's, made from the original negative. Below is the PSA classification for photo types. 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 two 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.
