Also Type 1 ( 1958-1961) has Sans-serif Typeface, and Type 2 ( 1962-1965) has serif typeface.

If I recall correctly the listing of the city - "Detroit" in your example above allegedly started in the mid to late 50's (I have seen the difference starting in 1959) - Some of the earlier ones cannot be identified that way. I believe one of the guys names who is heavy into these is Jack Webb. Not sure if he is on here.

What exactly are you trying to identify or collect?

I collect Aaron, and there is just terrible confusion over the Jays and stadium issues. I just pick up ones I don't have, assuming I can sort them out later.

This was labeled a 1959 Jays by PSA [not this specimen; I saw it for sale elsewhere in the slab]; I believe it is a team issue:



This one I've seen offered as a Braves stadium issue and also as a 1958 Jays:



This Clemente was labeled a team issue when I bought it:



I'm assuming this is a 1959:



Seller labeled this a 1960s team issue:



The last four all look the same to me.

I have a lot of Detroit Tigers Jays Publishing photos and I would like to be able to sort them by year. I've seen checklists but it doesn't state if the player's photo is a portrait, or at bat or fielding etc. so I don't know what year to put many of them in . It appears to be a lot of guess work and with small crop changes it may not be possible.

Hi Guys:

In my quest to collect the Phillies Jay photos I did find some people out there who have checklisted the various Jay and Team Issued similar sets.

I got this Phillies list which I assume is what you all would want for the team sets you collect.
