Joel Youngblood - PC Checklistby Bowersbird - 80 cards (Last updated on Dec 27, 2023) |
Background: I was buying some cards on eBay and only needed a few more for free shipping (or some deal like that). I picked out Joel's RC because he was a Red & I thought his name was interesting. When it arrived, I went to put it away, and discovered I had his 1990 Score card, when he was also a Red. Was he really a Red for all those years and I didn't know about him? Turns out, no! 1976 and 1989 are his only years as a Red. I was intrigued, so I did a little research. The more I learned, the more fascinated and amused by this guy I was. So, I decided to start collecting his cards. It's fun to have this ongoing quest as well as become a little more familiar with the different sets of this era.
32. 1985 Topps #567 Joel Youngblood
Not the most exciting photo, is it? Even for a staged non-action shot, it's rather plain |
36. 1985 Leaf #152 Joel Youngblood
I like having the year on the Donruss cards, but the leaf logo is much cooler. Although, it does look a bit like a feather. |
38. 1985 Mother's Cookies San Francisco Giants #19 Joel Youngblood
This is *maybe* the best photo used on a Youngblood card. The swing. The out of focus crowd. His name & team on the wall. Just a sweet looking card. Only real negative is how plain the backs of these Mother's Cookies cards are. |

You may also want to add any checklist his name appears on to make your collection complete! | ||
That's an interesting idea. I currently have one checklist as a placeholder and plan to get his team photo appearances (which are often checklists). I might have to consider picking up regular checklists as well |
