Pictured
above is a 1962 - 1965 Houston Colt 45's Picture Pack photo of
Al Spangler. These black and white 5 x 7 photos were sold at
Ballpark souvenir stands. The Jay Publishing photos were all issued with the same format. Most
photos can be dated to various years, as they often used the same photo for multiple years. A player photo
with a specific pose might have been issued one year, and used to
fill team sets for the following years. From 1962 -1965 for example,
additional poses of the player might have been made during
this time, and used as well. This makes it difficult to date a
specific photo to one year. A set can be identified by using a checklist.
Each checklist has been arranged in
alphabetical order. Click the following link for a
