Thank you for solving this mystery I've been wondering about!

I found this one from a different nearly five year old 1955 Topps thread that G1911 (Greg) also posted. ETA Correction, it is actually Ed Roebuck beside Pillette and not Owens or Oldis. Thanks to Kevin for correcting me.

179 Bolger with what looks to be a red card to the right of it (below, in picture orientation) and a rounded black top team logo. From an expired eBay listing.

166 Bauer next to 171 Brodowski, from LuckyLarry in a different thread

And 192 Delsing again, showing a card to the right. Looks like a Red Sox player, with enough of the cartoon showing to probably make it identifiable. I can pull out my 1955 set tonight to find the match.

Awesome! I'm pretty sure that's Jim Delsing beside Bolger and Billy Consolo beside Delsing. Keep them coming!

I have a better example of the Stanky but I still can't tell who it is next to him. Throneberry, Zauchin, Sain, Jensen, Lollar, and Daley are still available. I am curious why you described Stanky as a DP, though. He isn't one of the four well known DP's, Baumholtz, Pearce, Perkowski, or Silvera. Is it thought that he is on a row that was printed more than the other rows? I have miscuts showing Stanky above Snider AND under Snider so it would make sense for the row Stanky is on to be a DP row. I also have a scan of a miscut 55 Clemente beside Stanky so that would also make Clemente a DP.
