Only one upset in the bunch (Valencia over Gaetti), and none of the matchups were all that close -- so without further ado, it gives me great pleasure to announce that THE FRANKENSET BRACKET IS OFFICIALLY UNDERWAY!

----------------------------

I've named the four regions of this bracket after the four top finishers in the first frankenset bracket: starting with the Frankenset King himself, of course, Billy Cowan.

Each region features eight first-round matchups -- since I think it might be a little much to ask my readers to decipher and vote between eight different pairs of cards at the same time, I'm dividing each of these first round pairings into two groups of four, to be voted on over two separate weeks.

Here, my friends, are the first four matchups from the Cowan Region.

#16 (Page 36) -- 1993 Donruss #319 Geno Petralli
