Well, I really wanted to follow those basic rules to start out, but it is hard to find more than one card at the bat rack for each number. I'll be looking for replacements for 2 of the 3 Cubs so I can have 9 different teams represented. Even though they are 10 years apart, using 2 different Mother's Cookies cards felt like a cheat as well. They are very bat rack heavy sets.
On this page, my fave is probably the Mark Grace card. The best factoid was that JJ Hardy is listed as a SS-P as he was his high school team's closer.
I am already pretty close on page 4, just need to find 2 more to finish it. Look for it some time in 2021!
That Grace has always been one of my favorites of his as well. Already looking forward to Page 4!
ReplyDeleteThat Helfand is cool! Love seeing Mother's Cookies cards being represented in your Frankenset.
ReplyDeleteI have to find that Grace! He's a PC anyway. Guess I need two copies.
