Default Val Gum 1960 Marilyn at Bat

I am intrigued by the plethera of Monroe cards all purpoting to be original 1960 versions. Some with numbers on the front, some with the movie star card back etc etc I have what I consider to be an original set and also I have the MovieStar repro set which is a copy of the original 38 cards. After some trawling around I did find another (what I deem to be) original set on google images from Sterling Sports Auction #63 Lot 564. Note there are no numbered cards and the backs are not exactly plain white. I would be interested if anyone else has a similar set to the aforementioned and also any idea of when the MovieStar set was issued ? For the those that are not aware of the set it contains 3 Monroe cards including the famous Marilyn at Bat card from which Di Maggio was said to have fallen in love with her after seeing that image.
