I've seen a few FrankenSets out there - John has a Braves set, Tom has a Cubs set, Nick has the Dime Box FrankenSet, Robert has a serial numbered card set. Jeff's got a White Sox FrankenSet. I'm sure there are many others. Tell me about yours in the comments!
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 3:
And the backs:
19 - Kent Hrbek 1983 Donruss
20 - Kirby Puckett 1992 Pinnacle
21 - Johan Santana 2008 Upper Deck (First Edition) Starquest
22 - Jim Kaat 1963 Fleer
23 - Chuck Knoblauch 1992 Topps
24 - Joe Mauer 2013 Topps Turkey Red
25 - Cesar Tovar 1970 Topps
26 - Bert Blyleven 1971 Topps
27 - Brian Harper 1993 Leaf Studio
Had to get a Diamond King in there at some point, and a Rookie Cup! Was happy to find some good vintage to add to the FrankenSet for this page. That's Blyleven's Rookie Card.
'93 Leaf Studio is such an underrated release!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely one of my favorites - the card design had to be good for Harper to make the cut over guys like Oliva, Carew, Killebrew, etc that could have been used in the #27 slot.
DeleteI've got a Cubs Frankenset based on the player's visible uniform number. Tomorrow's post will show the entire set.
ReplyDeleteoh yes, I've been reading and following along - I've enjoyed it very much!
DeleteGot two of 'em, one I just posted about last night:
ReplyDelete1. Frankenset of night cards.
2. Frankenset of Allen & Ginter minis.
Yes! The Night Card page was great. I'll be keeping an eye out for suitable #4 night cards to bump off Yadier...
DeleteThe 71 Blylevin definitely a cool card
ReplyDeleteone of my favorites!
DeleteAny page with Johan and Hrbek is a GOOD page. Keep 'em coming!
ReplyDeleteThe first 100 cards are Hrbek heavy, to be sure. . .
DeleteNOW YOU CAN WORK YOUR BAT RACK AND SHADES INTO THE MIX. GREAT JOB WITH THE VARIETY.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Yes, I've been getting a lot of help filling in these pages from cards sent over by fellow bloggers!
