What do you think of the Red Man cards?

NeilDowney

Hi Guys, I just got in four 1954 Red Man cards. I really like the "painted" baseball card. I suppose that is why I collect the 1956 Topps (background is painted), the 1953 Topps (entire card is painted) and now the Red Man cards. I have done a bit of research on these cards. After looking at a scan of every card in each of the 1952-1955 Red Man sets, I decided on the 1954 set as the one that I will start with. The main reason is that I like the cards with the scenic backgrounds over the cards with just a solid color as the background. The 1954 set has over 70% of the cards with a scenic background. I hope that you enjoy my scans. If anyone has any advice on these cards, I'm very interested in hearing it. Neil

Hi ZodiacMindwarp, How did you post the scans instead of just the links? Also, I know someone with a sweet PSA 7 1969 Mickey Mantle when you are ready to fill that hole in your set. Let me know, Neil

Real nice centering on that Mantle for a 7, I'd jump on it Michael.

I can't believe that Burdette got a 5, it's one sweet looking card. These Red Mans are awesome Neil.
