Default A few rookie questions about old photos

So I'm primarily a card collector, but I'm trying to learn a few things about the memorabilia world, expecially old photos. Here are some of my questions:

What constitutes an "original press photo" ? Is there only one original press photo? Couldn't a hundred or thousand of photos have been printed from the same plate? I confess my ignorance about early 1900's photgraphy.

Also, if you go to sell an original press photo, is there a common way of authenticating the item with the buyer?
