Mike,
There are clearly two different Boston photo packs for 1940 and 1941. I don't have my pack rosters right at my hands (at work), but I believe that there are two player differences in the pack of 25.

The key for telling the 1940 from the 1941 Boston Red Sox photo packs is the SIZE OF THE SIGNATURE. For the ?23 players that were in both the 1940 and 1941 photo packs, the same exact photo was used, but in 1941 the photos had the signature enlarged. The enlarged signatures were done as it was felt to be too difficult to read the 1940 signatures. I will look at my 1940 and 1941 Dom DiMaggio and let you know for sure, but a quick guess says that your photo may be the small signature and be from 1940 and not 1941.

I will get back with you.

Mike, if you look at your players listed in your post and your have both large and small signatures, this is a combo pack (often put together in that time period). You can also look at either Ted Williams or Jimmie Foxx--these are the two most obvious signature size differences. Clearly the 1940 is exponentially harder to find, so you may have a nice partial pack there.
