Press photos was originally used in this thread as a general term for photos by the press. Noting valueless about the term. News photo means the same thing.

Look like some nice Mantle photos, including wirephotos and original by Herald staff. The ones listed on back as AP wirephotos are wirephotos, which are vintage copies (same age as originals, still have value) and the rest are probably originals. The fielding one might be a wirephoto too, not sure. Wirephotos were sent by AP and other big photo agencies to subscribing newspapers. The areas of paper removal remnants were from the AP caption tags describing the image. Remnants like that are common. The newspaper editor or printer removed the caption before using the photo.

No need to submit them. The marks, stamps etc on back identify them fine for the potential buyer. A few have a date stamp, which should be obvious in authenticating significance. I assume the ones with Herald Staff photographer stamps on back would be graded by PSA as type Is, but I also assume it's not worth the cost of submission.
