Sorry I got too impatient. A Google search turned up this.
The 1952-55 Dormand Postcards baseball set features the photography of Louis Dormand, a famed New York photographer and was released according to his consent. The set was issued by the Mason Candy Company to fulfill fan requests for photos, often marked with the Kodachrome logo, and autographs. Each 3-1/2” by 5-1/2” postcard features a full color posed player photograph with a facsimile autograph printed in black within the borderless front. The backs are printed in either green or blue with a short player bio and career statistics as well as the typical postcard information. Rarities include Jim Konstanty, Elston Howard and Casey Stengel with the scarcest of them all being Gil Hodges. Oversized versions (approximately 9” by 12”) also exist for the Mickey Mantle and Phil Rizzuto and the Johnny Sain card displays an advertisement for an Arkansas Chevrolet dealership. Highly sought after examples include the multiple variations for Mantle, Stengel and Sain as well as Roy Campanella, Enos Slaughter, Elston Howard and Bill Skowron
