Frankenset Page #68 WINNER -- 1972 Topps #611 Rich Reese (21 votes)
Not a lot of stress last week: Rich Reese obliterated the competition, taking 21 of the 40 total votes en route to an easy win.
High-numbered pages tend to be a bit weaker than some of the lower ones, which may account for the blowout, but there's little denying that Mr. Reese deserves the victory for his fantastic show of vintage bat-barrel action.
The almighty Random Number Generator spit out #41 this week, so we'll be taking a look at that page (#s 361-369) here tonight.
Let's meet the hopefuls.
1996 Topps #361 Randy Velarde
A great card from one of the worst Topps sets (in my opinion).
2014 Topps #362 Daniel Nava
Boston strong.
1967 Topps #363 Dave Johnson
Back in the days when bunt poses were in vogue (with a Rookie Cup!).
1999 Fleer Tradition #364 Carlos Hernandez
Carlos Hernandez, a classic example of a mediocre player who somehow received great cards throughout his career.
1996 Upper Deck #365 Kevin Seitzer
For the autograph hunters.
1982 Donruss #366 Chris Speier
A mundane card turned frankenset-worthy by the Wrigley Field scoreboard.
1994 Upper Deck #367 Tom Henke
Faux-back!
1995 Score #368 Kirt Manwaring
Kirt Manwaring is king of the aforementioned Carlos Hernandez ilk -- Manwaring probably has more cards in my frankensets than any other single player (including this PATP, of course).
1995 Score #369 Pat Kelly
Doubling up on '95 Score to close out the page, this time with a particularly violent double dip.
The polls are now on the sidebar.
Happy voting (and enjoy the World Series)!

The Nava card captures the joy!
Rooting for Dave Johnson this week
Several of these match my mini collections too. Great page.
I'm going to let my bias shine and pick Nava. His journey to the Major Leagues would make a great movie.
As much as I dislike the Yankees, I went with the Velarde. Great action shot with appendages attached.
The Henke card actually catches my eye from this bunch. I like the look of that uniform.
