Wes Covington, of course had the same picture on his 1961 card, one of the early classics of bat rack cards. The Joe Morgan card might be my favorite on the page, just because it's rare to see good photos of Joe from his early Houston days. If possible, I will be looking for a different #41 to break up the Reds on the page...
Page Three (cards #19 through #27) had a Cubs problem - three Cubs in slots #20, #25, and #27. I went back through all of my boxes and looked for anything that could replace 2/3 of those cards, and I think I made some good finds :
#20 - Bob Elliot 1950 Bowman
#25 - Ozzie Smith 1990 Baseball Card Magazine
So here's what the page looks like now, with 9 different teams and 9 different designs.
I still can't get over the fact there are this many bat rack cards. I guess I just always overlook them. I love this series and the uniqueness of the photos.

DeleteWow, a 1950 Bowman certainly enhances any Frankenset! And that’s a fine bat rack card as well.
ReplyDeleteThat Morgan is indeed nice...I believe I actually have that card.

The '94 Wickander has been a staple in my own frankenset for as long as I can remember -- I love that card so, so much.
