Looking for info on Whitey Herzog cards

Does anyone know the earliest card to have Whitey in a Cardinals uniform? The best I have found is 1982 Donruss but I was hoping for something in 1980. I want to add his earliest Cardinal issue to my collection either in PSA10 or auto'd (or possibly both).

Thanks!

The 1981 Topps Cardinals Team Card #684 shows the entire team, and has a box in the upper right hand corner displaying Herzog as the manager- Just a headshot, but probably the earliest appearance on a card with the Cardinals

could there be some sort of a team issue card or postcard set from 1980?

I think mikeschmidt is correct.

I was hoping so but the closest to that I have found is a media guide from 1980. I'll need to take a close look at the 81 team card to see if it fits my liking otherwise 82 Donruss looks to be the only option.

I'm also looking for a 1957 Herzog in PSA8 or better. There's one on ebay but I bid as high as I'm willing to go and did not meet their reserve.
