Hi. I legally purchased these photos years ago. Please do not be alarmed by return to library, etc, stickers. They are physical vintage photos from a longstanding newspaper or news service archive. Not reproductions. Perhaps you can have them autographed by your favorite celebrity. A great gift. The BACKSIDE of these photos will present stamps, dates, and other publication details - these marks attest to and increase the value of the press photos. Some photos may not be in perfect condition due to their age. These were actual newsroom photographs that were put to work and appeared in stories in newspapers all over the United States. These are part of the photo's history as a news photo that is preserved. This in itself is why their value is not to be viewed in comparison to a copy. Thanks
