I very much enjoy the Jay Publishing photos and try to pick them up either in a set and/or stand alone. Below pictured is an example from 1958-1962 Jay Publishing (seen them called ’61 as well); one of the Jays signed and one unsigned. I’ll let Alan sound in on the year; I’m sure he knows for sure… I just go by an “estimated” year 😊

Mark,

Your photos are from 1961. Here are the Brooks Robinson Jays photos by year. I can't really tell much difference between the 1959 and 1960 issues, but since I get them as team packs, I believe the years are correct. Jays must have reused the 1959 photo in 1960. The other years are easy to identify. As you can tell, Jays started using a different font for their photos starting in 1962. The 1958 Brooks photo is by far the toughest to find. There were two different sets of Orioles in 1958, but Brooks was only in one of the sets.

Tomorrow I'll list the Brooks Robinson photos from the team issued packs sold at the ballparks.

I knew you’d have them with all the correct years! Look forward to the team issues tomorrow.
