PAGE NINE!



And the Backs . . . 


73 - Greg Walker 1984 Fleer
74 - Ruben Rivera 1998 Pinnacle Inside
75 - Yangervis Solarte 2016 Topps Heritage
76 - Travis Hafner 2007 Upper Deck First Edition
77 - Babe Ruth 2016 Leaf Babe Ruth
78 - Denard Span 2017 Stadium Club
79 - Matt Olsen 2017 Stadium Club
80 - Gregg Jefferies 1995 Collector's Choice SE
81 - Hank Greenberg 1976 Shakey's Pizza Baseball's Greatest Players

Well, this page needs a little work - Greg Walker is in the dugout with a bat leaning on the bench, so it's a bit of a stretch to call it a bat rack card. Yangervis Solarte is blocking the bats with his body, and Denard Span is on the opposite side of the dugout from the bat rack (though you can at least see it in the distance). Would like to find an alternate for the Span card mostly because there are two cards from 2017 Stadium Club on the same page.

The Hank Greenberg is my favorite on this page, just because it's fun to root for the oddball card sets.

The Backs:


28- Placido Polanco 2012 Topps
29- Sherman Obando 1993 Bowman
30 - Hank Greenberg 1980 Cramer Sports Legends
31- Fred McGriff 1990 Topps K-Mart A.L. Superstars
32- Stan Musial 1953 Bowman Color (1983 reprint)
33- Andruw Jones 2003 Fleer Platinum
34- Al Oliver 1977 Topps Cloth Sticker
35- Jimmie Foxx 2001 Upper Deck Cooperstown Collection
36- Mario Soto 1985 Fleer Limited Edition Baseball Superstars

I was able to follow the team rule this time, but I may have fudged a bit on the bat rack rule with the Fred McGriff card. I have no doubt that he is standing "bat rack adjacent," and I thought that there was a bat in the background leaning against the wall... looking closer I think that's a broom or mop handle.
No matter! I hope to get the Stan Musial card in its original form at some point, but the reprint actually fits in the 9 pocket page, so I almost prefer to have it instead of the genuine article. 

Tell me about your mini-collections - would you start your own Franken-set?
