In terms of other "red" cards, I do not have any more of the subject at hand, but do have quite a few Cardinals cards in my collection of this guy:
RIP, Red! Hope you're able to ball on a cornfield somewhere out there.
I collected baseball cards from the late '80s through 2002. Then I went to college and when I came out, I was lost. There were too many brands, sets, choices, relics, autos, parallels, variations. It was a turn off. However, I slowly made my way back. So here is my attempt to venture back into the hobby. I'll buy a few packs of cards here and there, comment on some cards I have, send out some TTMs, and follow the progress of my Topps Yankees Project.

BLOG BAT A ROUND : red cards for Red Schoendienst
Collecting Cutch started a Blog Bat Around to show off some red cards in honor of the late Red Schoendienst.
I certainly have to start by showing this card, which actually isn't mine. The generous Ryan of Ryan's Pitch sent this to me for my son's HOF collection, and there it still resides:
And of course you can't forget about the RED, white, and blue:
Or the RED ink autograph...
Or the guy with RED hair...

Joey's first 1952 Topps HOFer
No collection is complete without a 1952 Topps card. While many may like other sets from the 50's a bit more (I'm personally a 1953 and 1956 guy), 1952 changed the game. The checklist and design are as historic as they come. I've only got a few 1952 Topps cards of Yankees, and they are beat up old commons.
Well, my two-year-old son's 1952 collection now trumps mine. It doesn't in quantity, but does in quality. That's because Ryan from Ryan's Pitch blew me away with a package out of the blue for my son's HOF binder:
Yep, that is a 1952 Topps Red Schoendienst. Are you kidding me, Ryan?? My goodness. What an addition for my son's HOF binder that he has no clue exists. All things considered, the condition of this card is great. A slight crease in the upper right and along the right side, but one of the better 1952's I've seen.
Red was inducted into the HOF in 1989 by the Veteran's committee. He was a 10-time All Star and a member of two World Series championship teams. He also managed the Cards to another WS title in 1967. To his credit, he still stays around the game today even though he is 90.
Ryan, thank you so much for this gem. As tempting as it is to tuck it away in my collection, rest assured it's already in Joey's binder.
