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.
43. 1986 Donruss #567 Joel Youngblood
Hilariously, he's marked as the one position Youngblood never played (aside from DH, but he was always in the NL). Guess they didn;t put a position player on the mound for blow outs back then. Shame, really. |
45. 1986 Mother's Cookies San Francisco Giants #26 Joel Youngblood
Similar pose to his Topps card from this year |
46. 1987 Topps #759 Joel Youngblood
Love this Topps design. Too badly it's another pretty boring photo |
49. 1987 Fleer #288 Joel Youngblood
That hitter classification strike zone heat-map thingie on the back is pretty interesting |
50. 1987 Fleer - Glossy #288 Joel Youngblood
Another one of those "how different is this from what I already have?" cards |

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 |
