Is red card animation persistant?

What you're saying, or will be that, you want to change the effect of the Red Card?
(I'm sorry if I wrong)

Effects of Red Card seems to be the effect of the card of the item.
And it seems to be set in the C1bank.

Code:

C1/ABEB:    A00200      LDY #$0002
C1/ABEE:    B176        LDA ($76),Y    
C1/ABF0:    C9F9        CMP #$F9
C1/ABF2:    D012        BNE $AC06
C1/ABF4:    7B          TDC
C1/ABF5:    9176        STA ($76),Y
C1/ABF7:    C8          INY
C1/ABF8:    A94E        LDA #$4E         4E=4D(Card)+1
C1/ABFA:    9176        STA ($76),Y
C1/ABFC:    20CDBE      JSR $BECD
C1/ABFF:    20CDBE      JSR $BECD
C1/AC02:    20CDBE      JSR $BECD
C1/AC05:    60          RTS

If you change the effect of the card, the effect of the Red Card will also be changed as well.

I think So, change the item ID of another here, that it is good be rewarded make as an effect of the Red Card the effect of items that you have changed.
