As others have stated, this is not a Jays Publishing photo and it is definitely not from 1955, 1956, or 1957. TCDB lists it as a Sports Service photo, although I'm not sure where that info comes from. The photo is part of a team set and was issued in a white envelope with a plastic window. This envelope was used every year the photo sets were issued (from 1961 to 1968). I've attached a photo of the envelope. There are no manufacturing identification marks on the envelope. As to the year, it cannot be in the 50s because the set includes Ralph Houk; his first year managing the Yankees was 1961. I think it might also be possible for the set to be from 1962 instead of 1961 or in addition to 1961.

I've also attached the Type 1 photo the set photo is based on. It's interesting in that the bat Mantle is holding is a Yogi Berra bat.
