Frankenset Page #2 WINNER -- 2007 Upper Deck #16 Alvin Colvina (11 votes)
Last week's winner was a good example of a card I personally wouldn't have voted for, but one I kinda figured was gonna win.
While I'm more partial to Tzu-Wei Lin's Fenway panorama or Mariano Duncan's curious double dip, Alvin Colina took last week's page with a little help from the troops, collecting 11 of the 38 total votes for the win (Duncan was a close second with eight). Not bad for a dude who appeared in exactly two major league games, I'd say.
Now he's in the Gallery of Frankenset Champions for all of eternity.
We've only got a handful of pages left to cover in the frankenset: the Random Number Generator spit out #30 tonight, so we'll be taking a look at that page (#s 262-270) on the blog this week.
Let's meet the nominees.
1973 Topps #262 Jack Aker
The ivy in full bloom.
2013 Topps Update #US263 Austin Romine
"Get back behind the plate, kid." -- Mariano Rivera, probably.
1994 Collector's Choice #264 Bill Spiers
The elusive fauxback/double dip combo!
2003 Topps #265 Grady Little
I collect kids on cards, but I'm thinking this could be a lone example of a grandkid on a baseball card.
1997 Topps #266 Eric Owens
The Wicked Witch appeared a couple frames later.
1993 Upper Deck #267 Wes Chamberlain
1978 Topps #268 Gil Flores
You could really get lost for hours in this photo.
2012 Topps #269 Jason Vargas
One of my personal favorite throwback jerseys.
1994 Collector's Choice #270 Doug Strange
Who says bunts are boring?
That's it for this week's page. The polls are now on the sidebar.
Happy voting!

Exceptional captioning this week, Nick! I especially liked the Eric Owens one about the wicked witch.
Also, this is the terrible, terrible news: "We've only got a handful of pages left to cover in the frankenset." I truly look forward to reading these posts and voting each week.
Tough one this week!...really digging the Wes!
I voted for dust in the wind.
Agree with P-town Tom. Time to start a third Frankenset?
The Mariano Duncan got my vote last week because it is in my own personal frankenset, but the Colina is a worthy victor. This week it is a tough call for me between Owens and Chamerlain.
Chamberlain for me too.
