I bought the complete set in a Hunt's Auction, with the envelope. They definitely were not made by Jay's. The envelope is unlike any Jay's issue I've seen. I later read that they were sold two ways -- a set of Dodgers photos alone, or combined with a set of Yankees photos. I suspect the combined sets were sold during the 1956 World Series. The Dodgers alone may have been sold at Ebbetts field or possibly through the mail (although my envelope has no stamps or postmark).

Hunt listed them as 1956 which makes sense to me since Jackie Robinson is included. I may have read somewhere that they continued to be sold into the 1957 season.
