1958 Jay Publishing Phillies

[rayfg]

AustinMike, I agree with you and whiteymet that the team issue photo packs not attributed to Jay Publishing does not mean that Jay was not involved with them, probably starting in 1956. There are just too many similarities. My guess is that they printed and supplied all these photo packs from 1956-66.

I noticed also that the photos used by TCDB for the "1957 Jay Publishing New York Yankees World Series Picture Pack" set lists the team name as "New York Yankees". So, if those photos are accurate, Jay issued sets in 1957. I'm basing this on the seemingly accepted definition for Jay photo sets as having the city as part of the team name.

I suppose I will just collect all the Phillies photos from the 1956-66 photo packs and probably never know who printed what. My original post asked about a Jay Publishing Phillies photo from 1958 with the city in the team name. Not having found any, leads me to believe such photos for the Phillies began in 1959. I will be happy to be proved wrong.
