What a card: This is the 26th rookie card in the 1985 Topps Traded set. Rick Schu started at third base for the Phillies in 1985 as veteran Mike Schmidt was moved to first base.
My observation on the front: Move that logo over to the left a little bit and it would fit perfectly on Schu's jersey.
More opinion from me: There is just something about a guy named "Schu" that makes you want to root for him.
Something you might know: Schu was expected to be the heir apparent to Schmidt at third base, but his .252 batting average and seven home runs in 1985 did not impress and Schmidt returned to third for 1986. Schu went to the bench.
Something you might not know: The independent rock band named after former Phillie Von Hayes wrote a tribute song to Schu called "Schu Schu Baby".
My observation on the back: Rick Schu's father, Ken, pitched in the White Sox's minor league organization in 1955.
