Ripken/Mays/Aaron Wire photo's ??

I recently found a bunch (50 or more) photo's that were my fathers. Stuffed in an old box, all dated pre-1985. My question is=== Are these considered 'wire photo's'?? Do they have another name?

They have all the writing (columns/indents etc.) that one would attribute to wire photos both on the front and back, but they are very thin. They are not on glossy photo paper. Here are a few examples to help show you what I mean.

Cal Ripken Jr.

    The ones I've bought and seen for sale in the past were always listed as wire photos. I'd be interested in any pittsburgh pirates ones you have that you don't want.

    If you go to sell them on ebay you might want to put a watermark of some kind on the scan so people can't just copy your photo. Those look nice!

    the third is of Lee Lacy taken on 6/23/84 trying to catch a Phillies home run hit by Glenn Wilson, second inning. Wilson hit the home run off John Candelaria.
