This a 1955 Bowman card of Hall of Fame pitcher Robin Roberts, who recently passed away. He pitched most of his career for the Philadelphia Phillies and was part of the “Whiz Kids” Phillies’ team in the 1950s. The television frame on the 1955 Bowman cards make them very unique.
When I was growing up in Philly in the 60s, and the Phillies stunk, were pathetic every year, Robin Roberts remained a legend. He had a cool name. And the past was all we had to cheer for.
