The (Second) Dime Box Frankenset, Page 32: Numbers 280-288

Frankenset Page #37 WINNER -- 1996 Stadium Club #333 Jay Buhner (13 votes)

As I post each week's frankenset page, I like to go through and pick out which card I think might win -- not necessarily my favorite of the bunch, just the card I think will resonate most.

My inkling this time around was correct: while he wouldn't have been my own personal choice, Jay Buhner took home the crown last week, as I thought he would. Buhner received 13 of the 34 total votes for a comfortable victory -- the only real competition came from outfielder/point-guard Adam Lind (10 votes).

I can't say I've ever seen a point-of-impact shot quite like the Buhner before, so I'm happy to add it to the Gallery of Frankenset Champions.

I was unexpectedly asked to work an extra shift yesterday, which is why this week's frankenset post comes a day later than usual (don't my managers know I have a blog to run here?).

Hopefully the delay doesn't affect the results of our newest batch of nine -- as handed down by the almighty Random Number Generator, let's take a look at Page 32 (#s 280-288) of the frankenset here today.

1995 Stadium Club #280 Thomas Howard

Wall climbing at its finest. 

2018 Stadium Club #281 Brian Dozier

On the dugout steps. 

2016 Topps Update #US282 Will Harris

High-fives aplenty at the Midsummer Classic. 

2016 Stadium Club #283 Rougned Odor

Joy. 

1998 Stadium Club #284 Sean Berry

Can't say I own another card of a dude in a cockpit. 

1992 Leaf #285 Mickey Tettleton

Play at the plate! 

1958 Topps #286 Gino Cimoli

A card I first encountered in the Baseball Hall of Shame books I read dozens of times as a kid, notable for the fact that some rabid Topps employee airbrushed the bat right out of poor Gino Cimoli's hands (the penciled-in .564 on my copy remains a mystery, however). 

1998 Fleer Tradition #287 Kevin Appier

The ever-rare American League pitcher at the plate. 

1992 Pinnacle #288 Bob Tewksbury

Bob Tewksbury: pitcher by day, Picasso by night.

That just about does it for this week's page -- the polls are now on the sidebar.

Happy voting!
