Alan,
Nice pickups! Strange, but I am always much more fascinated with the team envelopes from these sets than the actual pics themselves. I recently found a couple new catalogs that have helped me identify all of the Dodgers post cards over the years. The photo packs are another story as different publishers call them different things when cataloging and they don't catalog EVERY year. They team issued photos are also easily confused with the Jay Publishing sets. The first picture and envelope you shared I am pretty certain are from the 1958 Jay Publishing set. The second picture has me scratching my head, Torborg played between '63-'70 for the Dodgers and I can't find him in any of the photo sets cataloged in any of the publications. The envelope associated with it is described the same as the 1970 Team Issued Photos in the Beckett Almanac but they don't show Torborg on the checklist for that year. Plus Torborg looks younger in the photo so I'm inclined to think it's a team issued photo and envelope from '66-'68. I don't know for sure though because I still haven't found a catalog with detailed descriptions of EVERY year.
