Can I assume it's better for a photo to be standalone and just on the photo paper, and not on a cardboard mount?

Thanks for edumacating me on the topic!

If the mount is original, the mounted photo should be worth more.

With all due respect, Not all photos on mounts are on original mounts number 1. Number 2, a later printed photo or even a non first gen can always be mounted later as well. To make an a broad statement like this is not true.
Example: Items can be mounted later on vintage mounts(take an old mount from player ding dong and replace it with player popular and Ch Ching!
If you are concerned about whether something will pass psa as part of your investment, for example , then I would not take this all encompassing advice.

I said original mount, as in the mount is original to the photo. And I was comparing the otherwise same photo, except mounted vs. unmounted.

Ok. If one can determine the mount is original to the original photo than we agree!!!
