I have a Action Photo set the I guess to be 1955. It has Rizzuto and Turley, but no Martin. It has Bob Grim instead of Martin. It also has "Ross Photo Services" at the bottom.

I have another Action Photo set that I guess to be from 1956. It has the same list of players you list above. It is the same list as your photo pack with one exception, it has Larson (who joined the club in the same trade that brought Turley to the Yanks) and no Rizzuto.

Maybe the one I have with Larson was produced after August 25, 1956 and yours was produced before August 25, 1956?

Does your mantle match this one?

No, not in my "1956" set. The one in my "1956" photo pack with Larsen is the first photo. The photo in my "1955" set (with the Ross notation) matches your photo. It is the second photo. I also have a set that I guess to be 1953. The Mantle in that set also matches your photo. It is the third photo.

Edited to add that my "1953" photo, while it is the same photo, is cropped slightly different.

Those are the exact same photos as in my "1956" set.
