1957 Yankees 8X10 Photo Pack?

[mikesplace30]

Some info on the 8 x 10 On the sets you posted I have the sets you referenced as 1953,1956,1960 and 1961 Manny's . I have the envelope for the 1956 and 1960 sets.

The set I have including the envelope missing from your listing is Bauer. Berra. Carey. Collins. Ford. Howard. McDougald. Mantle. Martin. Rizzuto. Skowron. Turley. I have another set including the envelope of the same group of players just mentioned. This set I do not believe is authentic as two of the photos have different paper stock.

I then have the set that started this thread. As noted I have the "alternate" set with the group photo of Casey and the coaches Replacing the solo shot of Casey.

Regarding your 1953 set mine came with a Gerry Coleman for a total of 13. I had doubts this photo was part of the set as the pose is a studio portrait. It seemed out of place. Same paper stock though.

Thanks Mike.

Here's my listing of 6 by 9 sets. I actually have four and not three. I included the 1961 set (Champion Set, could be 1962) even though it is not 6 by 9, it is 5 by 7, the typical size of Jay's sets, but unlike Jay's sets, the photos are not close-ups, but more like the "Action Photo" sets. Lastly, I've attached photos of the 1959 and 1960 envelopes. I have the envelope for the 1956 set, but it doesn't show the year and the year is a guess on my part. No envelope for the 1958 set (another guess on the year on my part).

The difference between what I have as 1956 and your set that I don't have is that mine has Larsen and yours has Rizzuto. Both sets have Howard and Turley. The first year they played for the Yankees is 1955 so neither of those sets can be earlier than that. Rizzuto last played for the Yankees in 1956 so the sets with Rizzuto probably aren't after 1956. Larsen also first played for the Yankees in 1955 but didn't become prominent until the 1956 World Series. So I wouldn't place the sets with Larsen any earlier than 1956. I would like to place sets with Larsen after 1956 but he is included in the 1956 Jay's sets. The difference between what I have listed as 1955 (with Ross Photo Service in the lower left corner) and the set you have that I don't have is mine has Grim and yours has Martin. Again, both have Howard and Turley so they can't be earlier than 1955. Martin was traded from the Yankees on June 15, 1957 so the sets with him probably aren't after 1957. Grim was traded, weird as it is, on June 15, 1958, so sets with him probably aren't after 1958. Stephen's set has Kubek who started playing with the Yankees in 1957 so sets with him can't be before 1957. Larsen last played for the Yankees in 1959 so the set can't be after that. Collins last played for the Yankees in 1957 and seemed to be a mainstay of sets up to and including 1957. Stephen's set doesn't have Collins so it is probably from either 1958 or 1959. So I suppose it's more likely that Stephen's set is from either 1958 or 1959. What I have listed as 1956 is probably 1957 and yours is probably 1955 or 1956. What I have as 1955 could be either 1955 or 1956. Clear as mud?

I've picked up another 8"-by-10" Yankees Action picture pack. I believe it is from 1956. My opinion are the years I have are 1953, 1955, 1956, 1957, and 1960. I think the checklists for the various years may be as listed below. Even though I don't have the 1958 or 1959 sets, I based the checklists on the sets Mike and Steven have. I've also attached photos for the sets and envelopes they came in. Unfortunately, for some reason, the pictures for 1955 and 1960 are not being uploaded, something about a security token being missing. The following checklist is purely speculative on my part. It may be that more than one distinct set was issued during a year. It is also possible that a set was issued for more than one year. Also, sorry for the large envelope pictures. I have jpegs of them in a smaller size with the player photos, but none of them would load because of a missing security token.

1953

Year based on inclusion of Whitey Ford who returned from the service in 1953 and Johnny Mize and Vic Raschi who last played for the Yankees in 1953..

1956

The only differences between this set and the previous set is that Grim is out and Martin is in. It seems either set could be 1955 or 1956. The envelope is interesting in that it indicates the set came from Manny's.

1957

The only difference between this set and the previous set is that Rizzuto is out (he retired after the 1956 season) and Larsen is in (he was the hero of the 1956 World Series).

1958

The only differences between this set and the previous set is that Collins is out (he was not on the team after 1957), Martin is out (he was traded during the 1956 season), Tony Kubek is in (he first came up in 1957) and the multiple coaches/Stengel is in. Dickey stopped coaching for the Yankees and became a scout after the 1957 season, so it is possible this is from 1957 instead.

1959

The only difference between this set and the previous set is that the multiple coaches/Stengel is out and the lone Stengel is in. Dickey stopped coaching for the Yankees in 1957 so it makes sense to replace with just Stengel.

1960

The differences between this and the previous set are that Bauer is out (left Yankees after 1959 season), Carey is out (not sure why), Larsen is out (not with team after 1959), McDougald is out (not sure why), Ditmar is in, Lopez is in, Maris is in, and Richardson is in.
