Jay Publishing photos...what year were they issued?

I have some PSA graded...some show date as "1958-61" and yet others are "1958-62"...please see scans. Which is correct?...the PSA pop report shows NOTHING for "1958-62" yet I have a few slabbed with that date.

Thanks-
Claude

    Taken from the 2007 Standard Catalog of Baseball Cards:

    "The name "Picture Packs" has been used to describe this massive series of 5" x 7" black-and-white player photos issued by Jay Publishing's Big League Books division over the eight-year period from 1958-1965. The company also produced yearbooks for various major league teams during that period; many of the photos used in the yearbooks also appear in the Picture Packs.

    Picture Pack sets consist of 12 player/manager photos with name, city and team nickname in the bottom border. They were available by mail, at the ballparks and in stores. They were sold in either plain brown or white envelopes, or in clear plastic. Most were printed on a glossy, slick paper stock, although the quality of the paper may vary from team to team and year to year. The photos were issued anonymously, with no indication of the producer or year of issue.

    Two different types were issued, differentiated by the typeface used in the captions. Type 1 photos, issued from 1958 through 1961, were printed with a sans-serif style type-face, while Type 2 photos, issued from 1962 through 1965, used a serif typeface. Besides team sets there were a few special picture packs such as All-Stars, old-timers and World Series participants. Some years' team-set packs were updated (sometimes more than once) to reflect roster changes. Many pictures were reused from year to year."

    Hi Claude,

    PSA has both Type 1 (1958-1961) and Type 2 (1958-1962) listed as variations under 1958-1961 Jay Publishing Photos-Type 1.

    I just checked my old emails and the Mantle that I had labeled 1958-62 was incorrectly labeled. It should have been 1958-61. I sent it in for a correction and it came back with the correct year, 1958-61.

    Therefore, the Type 2 is not part of the variations of the 1958-61 pops.
