Red Man
Finished my 52-55 Red Man Dodgers team sets today with the addition of the graded Campy. Took me a while to complete this, just chipped away one by one. I’d like to upgrade the 54 PeeWee but otherwise I’m pleased with the overall condition. The main thing I was a stickler about was that they all needed to have the original tab intact on bottom. Examples can be found with the tabs cut off.
 All together.  1952  1953  1954  1955 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Red Man
Does anyone have any images of Red Man advertisements or original packaging from their collections they can share?

That was one of the easiest issues for me to complete for my Cubs collection. There are only two Cubs in all of the Red Man sets, 1953 Warren Hacker and 1953 Hank Sauer. I think I still need a Hank Sauer with the date variation, I didn't know there were variations until I read it here a few years ago.

I don't know about other years, but all 1953 Red Man cards have a variation of March 31 or May 31.

I'm going to ruin your whole weekend, according to COMC every set from 1952 through 1955 Red Man has two date variations. 1952 is March 31, 1953 / June 1, 1953. 1953 is March 31, 1954 / May 31, 1954. 1954 is March 31, 1955 / May 31, 1955. 1955 is April 15, 1956 / June 15, 1956. I don’t know if every card is affected. I wonder why Red Man did it every year?

Collecting those who were the first black players to play for one of the MLB teams (or the first black catcher to play in MLB), I think I am missing two cards: The 1954 Minoso and the 1955 Doby.

Can anyone explain why Mickey Mantle never appeared in any Ted Man set?

Does anyone have an explanation or theory why every Red Man set has two different deadline dates? It has me stumped
 . My only guess is the early one was for the eastern half of the US and the later one was for the western half of the US, but there were no teams in the western half of the US at that time.
