That would be Joe Collins. Here are the checklists of the sets that I have. The first lists are the "Action Photos" sets. The last column is the 1961 Manny's Yankees set, which you can ignore since the website already has it. I don't have the 1957 set and it isn't in my lists, but I have seen it on eBay and I think someone on Net54 had it. It has the same roster as the 1956 set except Joe Collins and Billy Martin are out and Tony Kubek and Casey Stengel are in.
The second set of listings are for the 6 by 8-1/2 team "Photographs" sets. I noticed that "Kucks" was mis-spelled in the 1959 set. It's spelled "Kuchs." Also, while looking at the 1956 set to see how it is spelled (correctly, by the way), I noticed the 1956 set is a little larger. They are 6-1/8 by 8-7/8 inches.
Lastly, there's another Yankees set, I think produced by Jay's (it has a similar envelope - see attached). As far as I can tell, I think this set was issued in 1956. I have never seen a complete set. I have bought 3 partial sets. In the 3 partial sets I have, there are 22 different players. No Mantle or Ford and they have to be in the set. And of the 22 players that have been in the partial sets, there are no "Past" players (except the coaches). Has anyone seen a complete set of these and know who is in the set?
