Please help me identify this Berra

I just picked up this Berra on ebay. The seller listed it as a "1957" Jay's photo. The Standard Catalog says that Jay's Photos first came out in 1958. And Berra looks very young in the photo and is listed as "Larry". Is this just a typical Type 1 Jay's photo from 1958 or later? Or could it be some kind of team issue? Thanks.

Paul:

Jay's did a 1956 World Series Issue with Yankees & Dodgers. I'm not sure but it might be from there............

That makes some sense. Thanks. I actually have the Dodgers set (with the Drysdale that I assume you have), but didn't have any of the Yankees.

I don't know about the World Series set . . .

but all the Jay Publ. team sets from 1958-65 always used the full city name and team nickname, and they didn't go to the sans-serif typeface until 1962.
