I decided this would be a good way to at least start organizing my Twins cards.
My own "rules" for the set are pretty simple -
1. Each card should be a Twins player in a Twins uniform (and exclude multi-team cards)
2. If at all possible, each page should have 9 unique players and 9 unique sets
3. Have Fun (Mandatory)
Here's Page 2:
And here are the backs:
10 - Bert Blyleven - 1987 Fleer Star Stickers
11 - Kirby Puckett - 1995 Score Select GOOOOOOOOOOLD TEAM
12 - Johan Santana - 2007 Allen and Ginter's
13 - Brad Radke - 1998 Bowman Hometown Parallel
14 - Tom Kelly - 1989 Topps
15 - Zoilo Versalles - 1964 Topps
16 - Frank Viola - 1986 Sportflics
17 - Joe Mauer - 2014 Topps Stadium Club Field Access
18 - Chili Davis - 1992 Topps Stadium Club
The first few pages I can get some inserts and subsets in there, so that's fun. I could probably do a Kirby Puckett Frankenset, all by himself!
I leave you with this great Al Franken tidbit - he can draw an accurate map of the United States free hand. It plays really well at the state fair:

ReplyDeleteThat is quite the Kirby.
Ha - yes, exactly!
DeleteExcellent. I, too, am crazy about the Gold Team insert. Nothing else like it.
ReplyDeleteI never quite understood the thought process of the Bowman map background.
ReplyDeleteThis one has Radke's hometown of Eau Claire in the photo, but I think they intentionally framed it to also show the Twin Cities. It may or may not be a design choice....
DeleteJust started working on my second Franken-Set ( see tonights post). Jersey Numbers.
ReplyDeleteShould be a good one - I bet you'll have a lot of fun with that!
DeleteIt has a long way to go, but I am working on a Coors Field frankenset. Rockies not required (and there are quite a few other NL West teams in there).
ReplyDeleteThat's cool - how do you decide if a card qualifies or not? Does it have to show a prominent Coors Field feature, or does it just have to be a card that you can prove is at Coors based on the player's uniform?
DeleteAl Franken - priceless.
