Default Unknown unchecklisted set???

Hi Gang:

Bringing this thread back to life and hope to avoid the"math lessen" discussion this time.

If you read the original post at the top you will read about a group of cards/photos I obtained awhile back that I had never seen before.

Recently I was lucky enough to pick up another small group that added new players to the checklist but also included some head scratchers.

Here is the original checklist with new additions added in bold

no numbers

Yankees:

Billy Martin,
Mickey Mantle

2 Yogi Berra

Red Sox
3 Ted Williams

White Sox
5 Harshman

Indians
7 Garcia

Tigers
8 Evers,
9 Wertz

A's
10 Finigan
11 Fowler

Phillies
15 Ennis
16 Seminick

Dodgers
17 Newcombe

Pirates
20 Clemente
21 Freese
21 Bobby Thomson*

Braves
23 Aaron

Reds
25 Greengrass

Cubs
26 Banks

Cardinals
27 Moon
28 Musial

Giants
29 Antonelli
30 Mays

Reds
32 Kluzewski though not numbered with the other Reds player
Greengrass above

There are also teams:White Sox, Indians, Tigers, Senators, Yankees, Orioles, Giants and Dodgers

Beside the additions of Berra, Williams, B. Thomson and Musial there are a few odd things.

*Thomson is numbered 21 as is Gene Freeze of the Pirates. Looking at the numbering of the set I have to assume he was to be #31 after Mays as that would fit in with the numbering system by team.

Other things noted is that these must have been issued in multiple years as some of the team photos have 1954 and 1955 printed on them while a few have the same photo with the year whited out as you will see in the second photo.

So, again I ask does anyone have any of these? Can you add to the checklist or know anything about who issued this set?

No Orioles or Senator players are known although the team cards are present although no team photos are known for the Red Sox, A's, Phillies, Reds, Pirates, Cardinals, Braves or Cubs

Hopefully more info is forthcoming.
