It's hard to know exactly what you mean with this photo, just reading your words.

As with baseball cards, one will occasionally find old photos that are original but unusual.

Thank you for your reply! Sorry, I'm doing the best I can to describe it,lol

The finish on the photo is matte, no gloss. The thickness seems about the same size as a normal glossy snapshot. The texture of it feels like cardboard or a heavy stock paper. I hope that clears it up little.
