Also, did these come with a matte finish?

Thanks in advance

I have only seen them mounted on a cardboard mount. They should be glossy, just like a photo from that era.

I have owned three in the past. The original cardboard border was quite wide. Many that you see today have been trimmed down. Also, as Kevin said, the photos are glossy.

They are real photo and in person are quite neat and large!! I think it's just glued on to the back. And as said, many if not most, have their large borders trimmed. The black is the cardboard the picture is glued to. I believe I have seen a few unmounted ones too but fairly sure they were just cut down. As far as I know they all started out mounted.
