Here is where I found the images/checklist:

Edit: Guys that were not on the Yankees in 1966 in this "set": Berra, Stafford, Ralph Terry.
Edit: Looks like there is also a 5x7 version of the same set. So I'll have it sent to me and see how big it is.
Maybe the Yankees bought their photos from the Sports Service guy. |
John, I'm curious as to the size of the photo. I have that very same photo in 4 different Yankee team sets - 1962, 1965, 1966, and 1967. Of course the years I assigned each set is based upon the players in the sets and could be off. The Mantles are identical with a couple of slightly different croppings. I measured 2 of the photos (1965 and 1966) and they are 4-3/4" by 7". I always assumed these were sold at the stadium and therefore called "team issued" by the guidebook. I had seen the link you posted before and I assumed the Sports Service sets were the "team issued" sets. Yeah, I know what happens when you "assume" something.
I'm heading out for the weekend but will post pictures of the Mantles I have showing the slight cropping variations next week. I'll also list who is in each set and the reason for the years I assigned.
