I have the complete run of Jay and Penn Sportservice photos in original envelopes.

My sets start in 1956 but I guess the 56 and 57 are not Jay because supposedly Jay's started in 1958. I have two different 56 sets One with Murray Dickson and the other ( later ) with Haddix taking Dickson's place. I also have two 57 sets with Blaylock and Bouchee trading places among other changes. All the 56 and 57 sets say just Phillies after the players name.

The Jay photos started in 1958. And the Jay photos from 1958 only say Phillies.

Starting in 1959-1961 The Jay photos say Philadelphia Phillies. However where you may be getting confused starting in 1961 there is also a Penn Sportservice set ( often called team issue) that was for sale at the stadium. I know because I bought some at Connie Mack stadium during those years. Those Penn Sportservice photos are similar to the Jay and they say only Phillies after the players name.

In 1961 there are actually three different sets with changing checklists for these Penn Sportservice sets. There were both Jay and Penn Sportservice issues through 1965 when I believe Jay photos stopped because the owner was killed in a plane crash.

The non Jay issues continued from 1966-1970 only saying Phillies.

Hope this helps
