The (Second) Dime Box Frankenset, Page 53: Numbers 469-477


Frankenset Page #8 WINNER -- 2016 BBM Fusion #66 Norihiro Nakamura (13 votes)

Watching the results of last week's frankenset page provided a nice respite from my week of holiday retail hell, so additional thanks to all who participated.

In the end, though, it wasn't much of a race -- our bat-flipping friend from across the Pacific won without much of a contest. Norihiro Nakamura collected 13 of the 34 total votes en route to the easy win, pretty much pacing the field from start to finish.

Also, I'm just now learning that Nakamura had a brief cup of coffee with the 2005 Dodgers, so last week's page proved to be educational as well as just plain fun.




This week's group is a day late due to Christmas (hope everyone out there had a great holiday!) and earns the distinction of being our last page of 2018.

As per the Random Number Generator, we'll be looking at Page 53 (#s 469-477) here today, so let's meet the contestants.



1991 Upper Deck #469 Sil Campusano

1993 Stadium Club #470 Mike Macfarlane

On the aggregate, I think catchers receive the best baseball cards. 



1995 Score #471 John Smiley

Pitcher at the plate! 



1994 Donruss #472 Craig Lefferts

Fauxback alert. 



1998 Fleer Tradition #473 AJ Hinch

Remember what I was saying about catchers getting the best cards?  



2011 Topps #474 Jeff Mathis

Looks like we've inadvertently gotten a catcher-themed page going here.



1991 Score #475 Andy Van Slyke

1991 Score is the cure for what ails ye. 



1994 Topps #476 Dave Hollins

A tangle of media. 



1994 Score #477 Kevin Reimer

Fauxbacks, revisited.

That just about does it for The Last Frankenset Page of 2018. The polls are now on the sidebar.

Happy voting!

  1. Wow, this was a tough one. In the end, I'm going with Mathis, because of the Rangers player behind him.

  2. My vote goes to John Smiley because of how awkward and uncomfortable he looks while trying to lay down that bunt. On another note, are we going to get a post about what cards you got for Christmas? I'm curious to see.

  3. Hollins looks like he's being attacked by the media!

  4. Never thought I'd ever vote for a 91S card... but that Andy Van Slyke card is cool.
