The Standard Catalog lumps all 681 versions of these photos, issued between 1958 and 1965, into one massive listing. Beckett separates the photos by year and by team, and I found a great resource here with the Phillies checklists for each of the sets from 1958 through 1965. The only thing that threw me off a little is that the images I found on the internet when doing a search for "Jays Publishing Phillies," contain the full team name, listed on the fronts of the photos as "Philadelphia Phillies." These photos omit the city and just list the team name. That being said, I'm still fairly confident these are the 1958 Jays Publishing Phillies photos.
(UPDATE (2/16/12): Please see the first comment below from Matthew, a/k/a 14,000 Phillies, for the correct identification of this set.)
So many, many thanks to my father-in-law for adding these to my collection and here's hoping he continues to clean and find cool Phillies stuff!

It just occurred to me that what you have is not the Jay Publishing team set, but rather the 1958 Phillies Picture Pack. From the 2011 SCD, page 276:
1958 Philadelphia Phillies Picture Pack
This set of 5" x 7" blank-backed, black-and-white player pictures was most likely issued in 1958, though it is also possible the set was issued in 1957 (or both). This team issue set differs from the contemporary Jay Publishing picture
packs in that it does not have the city name in the identication
line, only the player name in all-caps and “Phillies.”
The unnumbered pictures are listed here alphabetically.
Thanks! Time for me to purchase a new Standard Catalog. My latest version (from way back in 2001) doesn't include the Phillies Picture Pack listing.
I'm sure you're okay with it, but I just wanted to let you know that I'll be using a couple of these images with the appropriate checklist on an upcoming 14,000 Phillies post. You will be credited, of course.
Definitely not a problem and I'm looking forward to the latest entry into the database.
I just found the same package are they worth anything
We have a similar set of 12 in brown envelope contains Richie ashburn/Stan lopata/curt simmons/robin roberts/mayo smith/Harvey haddock/granny hammer/Ed Boucher//willie jones/jack meyer/bob bowman/and Chico fernandez
