Not that it’s particularly meaningful, but the good folks at PSA do seem to view some of these as being from a separate set, listed as the Indians photo pack.
They also seem to have the player’s name in script rather than typed in a little white box.

in my 2008 Standard Catalog, the complete set is listed as 24 and the aforementioned Indians players are listed in there with all 24 having the names in the boxes. |

So I tried to do a little more research and while I could not uncover the 2 Indians players you were looking for, I did notice something interesting about the 1954 All Star Photo Pack Ernie Banks. The position of the name is different. I don't have all of them in front of me at the moment, but to my recollection, in all of the others examples in my photo pack, the name of the player always appears in a rectangle located in the lower right corner of the photo. Likewise, I found a Kaline in the PSA APR section, and the location of the name, while in the general vicinity as the names in my other photos, is noticeably higher. Not sure what to make of that.

Even PSA has problems with these. I have seen a 1956 Mantle holdered as the 1954 AS but was clearly the larger size. All of the 1954's are the smaller than most team issued photo pack issues.
I have: Ernie Banks, Ray Boone, Roy Campanella, Al Dark, Al Kaline, Ted Kluszewski, Harvey Kuenn, Mickey Mantle, Ed Mathews, Willie Mays, Minnie Minoso, Stan Musial, Don Newcombe, Robin Roberts, Jackie Robinson, Al Schoendienst, Herb Score, Duke Snider, Ted Williams -19 different, presumably others... |

So if we tally up the confirmed in the threads we are up to twenty-one.
Ernie Banks, Yogi Berra, Ray Boone, Roy Campanella, Al Dark, Al Kaline, Ted Kluszewski, Harvey Kuenn, Mickey Mantle, Ed Mathews, Willie Mays, Minnie Minoso, Stan Musial, Don Newcombe, Allie Reynolds, Robin Roberts, Jackie Robinson, Al Schoendienst, Herb Score, Duke Snider and Ted Williams. I don't collect these, just buy and sell, but I don't think I have sold anyone else not on this list. |

I still think it is strange that Bob Lemke listed Avila, Garcia and Eddie Robinson as being in the 17 card set in the 2004 SCD Standard Catalog.
Wonder where he got that info?

They may very well be, that would bring it to an even 24... Bob was usually fairly thorough to confirm things he put on a checklist.

We may not have the answer until someone finds an unopened pack of 1954 All Star photos. But I guess one has to be willing to then open it. I picked up what I believe to be an unopened 1948 Cleveland Photo Pack earlier this year, so there's a chance some untampered/unopened envelopes containing the 1954 All Stars still exist in the wild! |

In a later post I mentioned that I'd overlooked the Campy in my count, so I had 18 as well.

I think the Garcia, Avila and Rosen photos are from the Indians team issued photo packs......Went through my big stack of assorted Cleveland Indians picture pack photos and found these 5.
The seller of the Garcia on ebay also listed Bob Hooper and Wally Westlake as "1954 Cleveland Indians All-Star Photo Pack" photos but they are just from team issued picture packs ![]() |

20210303_065722.jpg The All-Star photo is on the right. So, either my All-Star photo is trimmed (which unfortunately is a possibility), or the All-Star photos are slightly smaller than the Yankee set photos. If the All-Star photos are smaller and if all of the photos in the Leland auction were the same size, then none of them could be All-Star photos. I can't put my hands on my Mantle All-Star photo, but the Yankee photo set Mantle is 8-7/8" tall by 6-1/8" wide. What size do you have for your All-Star photos? For what it's worth, which probably isn't much, PSA lists 20 players as part of the 1954 All-Star set - Ernie Banks, Larry "Yogi" Berra, Ray Boone, Roy Campanella, Alvin Dark, Al Kaline, Ralph Kiner, Ted Kluszewski, Harvey Kuenn, Mickey Mantle, Ed Mathews, Willie Mays, Orestes Minoso, Stan Musial, Allie Reynolds, Robin Roberts, Jackie Robinson, Al Schoendienst, Duke Snider, and Ted Williams.

Here is my Mantle, assuming PSA didn’t mistake it.
Hard to compare it to the borders above. Almost seems like it’s halfway between the borders from the two examples provided.
