My Twins FrankenSet - Page 4
HEY! Are you planning on attending the national? We should hang out, check out some cards, maybe make a trade or two in person? Send me an e-mail so I know which day(s) you'll be there!
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 4:
and the backs:
28 - Frank Viola 1984 Topps (signed - Thanks again Tony!)
29 - Rod Carew 1968 Topps Game Insert
30 - Bob Allison 1969 Topps
31 - Doug Mientkiewicz 2002 Upper Deck Plus
32 - Justin Morneau 2009 Upper Deck Ultimate Collection (#114/599)
33 - Brad Radke 2002 Topps Gallery
34 - Bert Blyleven 2001 Upper Deck Decades
35 - Johan Santana 2007 Bowman Chrome
36 - Kennys Vargas 2015 Donruss
This page had a little bit of everything, but no Kirby Puckett! I tried to challenge myself to fill a page without him. The first appearance of Kennys Vargas! He's hanging out with Doug Mientkiewicz right now in AA Chattanooga.

3 former Pirates!
ReplyDeleteHmm - That give me an idea to do a "Former Twins" Frankenset of players that used to be Twins in different uniforms... It would result in a little more variety on the page...
DeleteThat's one groovy Blyleven.
ReplyDeleteI like the Viola auto, but the Radke Gallery card is way cool. Nice page!
ReplyDeleteNice to see Bobby Allison make an appearance. Him, Oliva and Hall made up a pretty darn good outfield for the Twins back in the day.
ReplyDeleteI never had the chance to see him play in person, but he's one of those players that long time Twins fans rave about. I wanted to get some vintage in the Franken Set when possible.
