Will the photos be Type 1, 2, 3 , 4 or something else?

Going only and strictly by the PSA grading descriptions on their site, they would by Type II.

But it matters in collecting who printed the photographs. There's a difference between the Chicago Tribune printing one of their photos 25 years later, and Joe Shmoe printing the same image 25 years later. In general, something printed 'officially' is worth more-- meaning a Tribune photo made by the Tribune, or a Robin Yount photo with the MLB stamp on back.

I don't know how PSA takes that into account.

It should be noted that if you win a negative, you may have all legal rights to print the photos. I don't anticipating that being an issue. Having legal right is part of something being official.

There are a plethora of interesting questions brought up by this topic. It also shows that the PSA grade doesn't say everything about a photograph.

It will be a modern print. Doesn't really matter. It's a novelty at that point.
