Default 1954 Red Man Tobacco Phil Rizzuto Sample Card

I recently picked up a 1954 Red Man Tobacco Phil Rizzuto Sample Card. I’ve been trying to do research on this, but have not seen another example of Red Man sample cards. Was curious if anyone has ever seen anything like this or if these were even a thing.

The stamp on the back to me is not convincing. A sample like the 39 playballs done with a stamp had all the letters lined up. But this the letters just don't line up like I would expect from a professional printer. Could be wrong but not something I would pay a premium for.

Yeah, I really have no idea what to make of it. I wish there were other examples I could compare to. The stamping is a great point.

The printing quality looks off to me. Here's another '54 Rizzuto from eBay on top - look at the green background:

Is that eBay image a sample copy though? I know what I have is off from the production design.
