Jay Publishing photos...what year were they issued?

[1966CUDA]

I have some PSA graded...some show date as "1958-61" and yet others are "1958-62"...please see scans. Which is correct?...the PSA pop report shows NOTHING for "1958-62" yet I have a few slabbed with that date.

Thanks-
Claude

Many of these are impossible to date unless you purchase them as a complete team set (normally 12).

Type 1 Jay Publ. pix packs, with name, city and team in sans-serif type face, were issued 1958-1961; Type 2 pix, with serifed typography, were issued 1962-1965.

Many teams and some other issuers produced very similar photo packs in that era, but Jay issue are always 5" x 7" and always have the city in the caption.

In 1965; the founder and owner of Jay Publishing perished in a plane crash

And Bob (and others) ; I'm going from memory here; but I believe this was the crash he died in

IIRC; he was John Jackson on this list. If I'm incorrect; please let me know and I'll fix this

This 1952 Yankees yearbook was probably the 1st venture into sports related publications by Jay Publishing (NYC).

It was one of 14 major league team yearbooks produced by Jay in 1952.

Anyone know if "Jay" published the "team" issued sets as well? Does anyone happen to have Pirate yearbooks from 1955-1970 that would be willing to do some scans so I can try to narrow down years of some of the pirate photos from those years? Thanks.
