1954 All Star Photo pack questions
Hi Guys:
Can anyone provide info on the 1954 All Star Photo pack? I have seen at least three different checklists with differing numbers in the set set. 17, 20, 24. AFAIK all of them have the players name in a small white box, however I see some that are on one or two of the checklists listed on ebay that the name is not in the white box. Here for example is an Avila: https://www.ebay.com/itm/33482582271...Bk9SR96x5O7BYg Another is this Garcia: https://www.ebay.com/itm/31461594320...Bk9SR-Sx5O7BYg Are these from the set or rather an Indians team issue? Can anyone provide images of these two and Eddie Robinson from the All Star set? Or are there some without the name in the white box? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide

My set had 17 with all the names in the white box. I did not have the Avila, Garcia or Eddie Robinson. Now I'm getting concerned that I didn't purchase the full set!!

Not that it’s particularly meaningful, but the good folks at PSA do seem to view some of these as being from a separate set, listed as the Indians photo pack.
They also seem to have the player’s name in script rather than typed in a little white box.

in my 2008 Standard Catalog, the complete set is listed as 24 and the aforementioned Indians players are listed in there with all 24 having the names in the boxes. |

So if we tally up the confirmed in the threads we are up to twenty-one.
Ernie Banks, Yogi Berra, Ray Boone, Roy Campanella, Al Dark, Al Kaline, Ted Kluszewski, Harvey Kuenn, Mickey Mantle, Ed Mathews, Willie Mays, Minnie Minoso, Stan Musial, Don Newcombe, Allie Reynolds, Robin Roberts, Jackie Robinson, Al Schoendienst, Herb Score, Duke Snider and Ted Williams. I don't collect these, just buy and sell, but I don't think I have sold anyone else not on this list. |

In a later post I mentioned that I'd overlooked the Campy in my count, so I had 18 as well.

I think the Garcia, Avila and Rosen photos are from the Indians team issued photo packs......Went through my big stack of assorted Cleveland Indians picture pack photos and found these 5.
The seller of the Garcia on ebay also listed Bob Hooper and Wally Westlake as "1954 Cleveland Indians All-Star Photo Pack" photos but they are just from team issued picture packs |

Years ago I won a near set at auction & had SGC slab them
Here's a scan of the envelope that they came in |

20210303_065722.jpg The All-Star photo is on the right. So, either my All-Star photo is trimmed (which unfortunately is a possibility), or the All-Star photos are slightly smaller than the Yankee set photos. If the All-Star photos are smaller and if all of the photos in the Leland auction were the same size, then none of them could be All-Star photos. I can't put my hands on my Mantle All-Star photo, but the Yankee photo set Mantle is 8-7/8" tall by 6-1/8" wide. What size do you have for your All-Star photos? For what it's worth, which probably isn't much, PSA lists 20 players as part of the 1954 All-Star set - Ernie Banks, Larry "Yogi" Berra, Ray Boone, Roy Campanella, Alvin Dark, Al Kaline, Ralph Kiner, Ted Kluszewski, Harvey Kuenn, Mickey Mantle, Ed Mathews, Willie Mays, Orestes Minoso, Stan Musial, Allie Reynolds, Robin Roberts, Jackie Robinson, Al Schoendienst, Duke Snider, and Ted Williams.

Here is my Mantle, assuming PSA didn’t mistake it.
Hard to compare it to the borders above. Almost seems like it’s halfway between the borders from the two examples provided.
