Default 1954 Orioles Picture Pack Photos

In 1954, a set of Orioles photo pack pictures were issued. They were B&W 6x8 photos very similar in texture to the Jay Publishing photos from the late 50's and 60's. Individual photos and team sets occasionally show up. There are probably a few on eBay currently. Here's the list of the 25 players in the original set.

Vern Bickford, Neil Berry, Joe Coleman, Gil Coan, Chuck Diering, Jim Dyck, Jim Fridley, Howie Fox, Jehosie Heard, Billy Hunter,
Darrell Johnson, Dick Kokos, Lou Kretlow, Don Lenhardt, Dick Kryhoski, Don Larsen, Dick Littlefield, Sam Mele, Les Moss, Duane Pillette, Vern Stephens, Marlin Stuart, Bob Turley, Vic Wertz and Bobby Young.


What most people don't realize is that an additional 8 photos were printed during the season. An update set if you will. I've found these updated photos to be much harder to find than the original 25. Here's the list, along with scans, of the extra 8 , bringing the total to 33 photos.

Cal Abrams, Jim Brideweser, Bob Chakales, Clint Courtney, Jim Fridley (new pose), Ray Murray, Billy O'Dell and Eddie Waitkus
