The (Second) Dime Box Frankenset, Page 54: Numbers 478-486

Frankenset Page #73 WINNER -- 2013 Topps #649 Ryan Hanigan (8 votes)

I sometimes worry about posting the higher-numbered pages in my frankenset because they're often a bit sparse and generally less exciting than others in the binder.

Despite being the second-to-last page in the frankenset, however, I thought last week's group was fairly solid, and the king of the super high-numbers ended up being the diving Ryan Hanigan, who took eight of the 31 total votes en route to the victory -- with both Steve Decker and Alex Cole on his heels (6 votes each).

As a frankenset builder, I'm ecstatic when exciting cards like the Hanigan wind up in the #500-600 range, because wow can they be scarce when it comes to filling my binder.

We're staying in the upper reaches of the frankenset binder this week, but thankfully the group is back to a full nine -- the Random Number Generator spit out #54, so we'll be taking a look at that page (#s 478-486) on the blog tonight.

Let's meet the nominees.
