Wow! After having none of the 1955 Red Man Tobacco cards for the first 59 years of their existence, I now have my 2nd card in three months. Now
that's progress!
A few weeks ago, I returned to the same Pennsylvania Dutch-area antique store where I found
this card, and snared another Phillie: the Whiz Kids' SS/2B Granny Hamner.
(The card back is identical to the Simmons card.)
Hamner's major-league career spanned from 1944 to 1962, and he was the Phillies' regular shortstop (and later their 2nd baseman) from 1949 to 1957. Traded to the Indians during the 1959 season, he played in the minors from 1960-62 before retiring.
