1951 Yankees Autograph Picture pack

[AustinMike]

I recently picked up a 1951 Yankees Autograph Pictures pack. The photos are 8-1/2" X 11". The checklist is:

Berra, Yogi
Crosetti, Frank
Dickey, Bill
DiMaggio, Joe
Heinrich, Tommy
Jensen, Jackie
Lopat, Eddie
Mize, Johnny
Raschi, Vic
Reynolds, Allie
Rizzuto, Phil
Stengel, Casey

I'm curious whether the 1951 set was also issued with Mantle after he made the team. I'm also curious whether the 1952 sets are "Autograph" or "Action" pictures. Has anybody seen a 1952 set?

I have two of these sets and they are identical to what you have posted. There was a listing on eBay recently were the seller was listing the photos individually. He also had the same twelve photos.

I am not aware of a 1952 set.

I saw the eBay listings for the photos. Saddened me to see someone breaking up the complete set.

I've got to think a 1952 set was made. We know "team issued" Autograph/Action/Photograph sets were made from 1947 to 1951 and from 1953 to 1960. So there's got to be something from 1952.

I only collect Yankee team sets and would not have noticed the Giants version.

But, with a rookie Willie, it would be a very nice set to have.
