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.
71. 1992 Fleer ProCards #108 Joel Youngblood
Card design makes it feel a little Little Leage-ish, but in a fun way |
72. 1994 Kahn's Cincinnati Reds #NNO Coaches (Bob Boone / Don Gullett / Grant Jackson / Ray Knight / Joel Youngblood)
Shares a card with fellow ex-Met/Red Ray Knight |
75. 1997 Kahn's Cincinnati Reds #NNO Ken Griffey / Don Gullett / Tom Hume / Denis Menke / Ron Oester / Joel Youngblood
Shares a card with Ken Griffey, Sr., so that's fun. |
76. 1998 Milwaukee Brewers Police - Midwest Sports Channel #NNO Coaching Staff
This card is one of the reasons I say it's my goal to get "most" of Joel Youngblood's card. There are WAY too many different groups that "present" these cards for me to ever collect them all.

77. 2007 MultiAd Tucson Sidewinders #35 Joel Youngblood
Other notable people in this set include manager Bill Plummer (who was ejected from a Reds game on April 25, 1976 after pinch hitting for Johnny Bench, which led to Youngblood filling in as catcher) and Randy Johnson. |
78. 2008 MultiAd Tucson Sidewinders #31 Joel Youngblood
In addition to Bill Plummer & Randy Johnson, Max Scherzer joins Tucson's roster. |
79. 2010 Topps Update - More Tales of the Game #MTOG-1 Two Hits, Two Teams, One Day
Cool that he gets to be #1 in an insert set ~20 years after he stopped playing. |
80. 1997-98 Fleer Million Dollar Moments - Exchange #47 Joel Youngblood
Not sure I'll ever find this card. For some reason, the last 5 or so of this set are nearly impossible to track down. |

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 |
