The set I have including the envelope missing from your listing is Bauer. Berra. Carey. Collins. Ford. Howard. McDougald. Mantle. Martin. Rizzuto. Skowron. Turley. I have another set including the envelope of the same group of players just mentioned. This set I do not believe is authentic as two of the photos have different paper stock.
I then have the set that started this thread. As noted I have the "alternate" set with the group photo of Casey and the coaches Replacing the solo shot of Casey.
Regarding your 1953 set mine came with a Gerry Coleman for a total of 13. I had doubts this photo was part of the set as the pose is a studio portrait. It seemed out of place. Same paper stock though.

The difference between what I have as 1956 and your set that I don't have is that mine has Larsen and yours has Rizzuto. Both sets have Howard and Turley. The first year they played for the Yankees is 1955 so neither of those sets can be earlier than that. Rizzuto last played for the Yankees in 1956 so the sets with Rizzuto probably aren't after 1956. Larsen also first played for the Yankees in 1955 but didn't become prominent until the 1956 World Series. So I wouldn't place the sets with Larsen any earlier than 1956. I would like to place sets with Larsen after 1956 but he is included in the 1956 Jay's sets. The difference between what I have listed as 1955 (with Ross Photo Service in the lower left corner) and the set you have that I don't have is mine has Grim and yours has Martin. Again, both have Howard and Turley so they can't be earlier than 1955. Martin was traded from the Yankees on June 15, 1957 so the sets with him probably aren't after 1957. Grim was traded, weird as it is, on June 15, 1958, so sets with him probably aren't after 1958. Stephen's set has Kubek who started playing with the Yankees in 1957 so sets with him can't be before 1957. Larsen last played for the Yankees in 1959 so the set can't be after that. Collins last played for the Yankees in 1957 and seemed to be a mainstay of sets up to and including 1957. Stephen's set doesn't have Collins so it is probably from either 1958 or 1959. So I suppose it's more likely that Stephen's set is from either 1958 or 1959. What I have listed as 1956 is probably 1957 and yours is probably 1955 or 1956. What I have as 1955 could be either 1955 or 1956. Clear as mud?
