Hey guys, I'm trying to identify who issued these photos. Are they a team issue? Can't seem to find much info:

The Mantle looks like a tight crop of the image used for the 1968 Sports Illustrated poster. Don't recall seeing them otherwise.

Mets look a bit familiar but can't place them right now.

I really can't help you other than to say that I don't think they are a team issue. I can help muddle things up a bit more though.

I have two separate issues of Yankee photos somewhat similar to yours. Mine appear to be a bit larger though. I don't have the original packing the photos came in but I do have two cards that were in them (one card in each). Six photos came in each package (like yours). I've also attached a photo of the Murcer photo to compare with the one that came in your package. I got my 2 packages on ebay and have seen them offered a few times. Based on the different fonts and sizes of the cards, I'm guessing mine may have been issued in different years - most likely early 1970s. Either the same company did all three sets, or one did yours and another did both of mine. Also of note, of the photos that appear in both of my sets, the same photo is used; but there is a very slight cropping difference.

Thanks for your post. Definitely looks like the same company. That player info looks similar to what's with my photos as well. Here's another shot:
