1957 Yankees 8X10 Photo Pack?

[Leon]

I think the question was a good one. I get hosed up on years of photo packs sometimes and these kinds of threads help me learn. Thanks Stephen. Keep up the good work!! You contribute more good stuff than most on the forum.

I agree, Leon.

AustimMike, your table format did not come through. You might try doing a screen cap of the table, cropping it, and posting it as a photo.

I've been trying to get coherent data on picture packs for a while now. Unless you are lucky enough to get a dated complete pack, you have to really hunt and peck to find data. I've been stuck checklisting by image for the players I collect.





Other problems that there are sometimes more than one pack per year (team issued, all star, etc), the composition of packs can vary, and some of the pictures came from third parties (Jay's, Manny's Baseball Land, etc.) but are indistinguishable from the team issues. Then there is the image itself. The OP images have multiple formats, which makes them appear to be from different sets.

It is just a mess. I've shown this Musial to all sorts of Cardinals and player collectors, and no one can ID it definitively:



Same with this Feller, which came in a multisport pack that included FB, boxing and wrestling too:

Exhibitman, are the Feller and Graziano 6-5/8"x9" on blank-backed paper? I have seen large collections of these (20-30 photos) and been told that these were modeled after (or possibly made as) a Bond Bread card and offered as a "Premium" photo. I have not been able to determine HOW these were offered, (i.e. mail-in, trade-in, order form with money, certain distributor, etc.). I have seen enough players/boxers to determine that the "set" does seem to match the list of Bond Bread players. I can't explain the football players, although I have NO EXPERTISE in football.

Yeah, I noticed when I did the "Preview Post." I tried putting tabs in to format it properly and that didn't work. I took your advice and have attached the list as a jpg.

Repeating from my previous post, these are 8 by 10 Yankee photo sets. The "1955" set has "Ross Photo Service, Inc." in the lower left corner and the 1961 set is from Manny's Baseball Land.

I am so so confused now. None of these match the one I have.

Mine is:

Bob Turley
Gil McDougald
Bill Skowron
Larry Berra
Hank Bauer
Andy Carey
Elston Howard
Casey Stengel
Mickey Mantle
Whitey Ford
Don Larsen
Tony Kubek


Is this a 57-59?

The important point is The set you have is complete and accurate and you have the envelope. I also have that exact set and have seen it around. The only issue is the year which will remain a mystery unless a star witness out of perry mason comes forward to settle this.

i will do a follow up on that checklist request as soon as I can.

Very Nice! I have a more recent similar set...but no envelope. That'd have made a super dooper xmas give away for a true yankee fan!!!!!

Sorry but I need to pay my mortgage somehow!!!

Here is some info on the 6 x 9 sets. I am very certain these are accurate and complete. The 1956 set I have is identical to SCD listing and I also have the rizzuto for a total of 23 photos. Becketts list this set at 24 includingEddie Robinson and rizzuto as part of this set. I have the Robinson photo but I think it is from one of those all star game photo packs issued in the 50's as the photo is so slightly larger than the other 23 in the Yankees set. The other times I have come across this Yankees set they never have the Robinson in the set. The set I purchased did not have the Robinson photo in it but did have the rizzuto.

1959 New York Yankees photographs. Sixteen photo set. Bauer. Berra Carey. Ditmar ford. Howard Kucks . Kubek. Larsen. Mantle. McDougald. Richardson. Slaughter. Skowron. Stengel. Turley. The envelope is white with 1959 New York Yankees photographs. . . Printed in blue. There are two versions of the envelope but say the same thing.


1960 set has fourteen photos. Berra. Carey. Ditmar. Duren. Ford. Howard. Kubek . Mantle. McDougald. Richardson. Shantz. Skowron. Stengel. Turley. The envelope is white with blue print. "1960 New York Yankees photographs"
