Dick Farrell Photo is missing (See here: https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/103388)Two photos from "1962 Sportservice Picture Pack Philadelphia Phillies". This includes the Tony Gonzalez batting pose, and manager Gene Mauch.Almost all photos have minor color damage on the corners from mounting tape. Some photos have minor tears or missing corners and creases (see pictures). Jay Publishing issued 12-card picture packs of various major league teams over the course of eight years. The cards measured 5”x7”, and were printed in black and white. Card stock was typically glossy and slick, although other types were used as well. The cards were distributed in brown or white envelopes or clear plastic bags, and were for sale by mail, in ballparks and in stores, and did not change in style greatly over the years. In fact, a difference in font is the only real distinction between the cards produced from 1958-1961, and those printed from 1962-1965. The earlier, Type 1 cards, used a sans-serif typeface, while Type 2 cards (1962-1965) used a serif font. The card fronts featured player/manager name, city and team along the bottom border. Photo pack contents sometimes changed with roster moves during a season, expanding some of the team checklists beyond 12 for a single season. I don't know much about the Sportsercive packs.
