Jay Publishing Photos

[Harford20]

I have done the same as Howard for the Red Sox and Ted Williams for the late 50's (1957) thru the 1960 Jay Publishing sets. Besides some variations in cropping, sets often changed during the season. I have at least 8 different "Red Sox Photo Packs (with player changes or cropping changes)" for these 4 team years.

As an example with the late 1959 Red Sox (post-season, but 1959 team players), Jay Pub added "Boston Red Sox" to the bottom of the photos, then changed the team players and subsequently the pack as the 1960 season started, then had another change mid-season when the manager changed, so, in reality, there is a 1959.5 set, a 1960.0 set and a 1960.5 set, and the cropping can even change within these three packs.

As far as the 1961-1963 Red Sox with Yaz, I have some knowledge, but the fine details drop off for these years as I do not have ALL the Jay Publishing sets to study. Not much info on Red Sox packs after this, and NONE on other team sets.
