Frankenset Page #1 WINNER -- 2018 Stadium Club #9 Zack Godley (13 votes)
Zack Godley went from coming fresh out of packs to a frankenset champion in less than a year.
The pool-diving Diamondback topped last week's page without much of a problem, taking 13 of the 37 total votes for the win (the next closest cards being BBM's Kazuhiro Wada with eight votes and Eduardo Nunez with seven). Though I've heard from a few collectors who don't like the Godley, I can't much argue with the results.
After all, a dude diving into a pool beats the same generic pitching shot we've seen a hundred times before -- I don't own another baseball card quite like it.
We transition from the very first page to a fairly high-numbered one in the frankenset -- as per the Random Number Generator, we'll be voting on Page 48 (#s 424-432) this week.
Let's meet the nominees.
1984 Topps #424 Dann Bilardello
I've never really thought about it until now, but there aren't a lot of cards of catchers blocking balls in the dirt.
1998 Pacific #425 John Flaherty
John Flaherty tagging out (pitcher!) Roger Bailey on this quirky PATP from Pacific.
1994 Topps #426 Ed Sprague
I've said it before and I'll say it again: 1994 Topps is horribly underrated.
1994 Collector's Choice #427 Anthony Young
An interview at Wrigley.
2003 Topps #428 Ricky Ledee
Double throwback, bro.
2012 Topps #429 Michael Bourn
Michael Bourn looks about four feet tall here (actually 5'11").
1992 Stadium Club #430 Howard Johnson
High-quality stuff from early Stadium Club.
1991 Score #431 Otis Nixon
I choose not to publish the immature caption I have for this card.
1994 Stadium Club #432 Wes Chamberlain
Dead Ball Era throwbacks rule.
That's it for this week's page. The polls are now on the sidebar.
Happy voting!

Interview...in CASSETTE!..for the win!
Technically, the Chamberlain is a faux back. I dug a while back and these are not true early era uniforms.
At first... I just thought the Nixon was a cool action shot. Then I read what you wrote... and chuckled. It earned my vote.
This was a tough one. The action on Bilardello calls to me though...
A whole bunch of good ones to choose from.
Ricky Ledee. Both those throwbacks are great.
Yeah, he definitely passed gas there.
