The (Second) Dime Box Frankenset Bracket: Bevacqua Region (Pt. 2)


Let's see how last week's matchups played out.

#1 (Page 51) -- 1973 Topps #456 Dick Green (25 votes)

def.

#16 (Page 56) -- 2017 Topps #499 Danny Valencia (11 votes)




#9 (Page 34) -- 1995 Collector's Choice #299 Chuck Carr (22 votes)

def.

#8 (Page 41) -- 1967 Topps #363 Dave Johnson (15 votes)




#12 (Page 61) -- 1983 Fleer #543 Ron Gardenhire (19 votes)

def.

#5 (Page 69) -- 1988 Fleer #616 Sammy Stewart (18 votes)




#4 (Page 22) -- 2017 Stadium Club #197 Tyler Skaggs (21 votes)

def.

#13 (Page 17) -- 1990 Upper Deck #151 Rick Honeycutt (16 votes)

Unlike the previous region, the #1 seed actually escaped the first round here -- though there were a couple other upsets to make up for it.

Carr over Johnson is a minor upset in seed only: I personally love that card and can't help but think "Those aren't pillows!" every time I see it. Gardenhire over Stewart was a bigger surprise (decided by the narrowest of margins), and I'm also happy to see the late Tyler Skaggs moving on to the next round.

Looks like the Bevacqua region is already shaping up to be an exciting one.

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


And so we move on to the second half of this bubble-blowing region -- do more upsets await?

Only one way to find out: here's a look at this week's matchups.

The vintage is taking a back seat this round

The Colina is my favorite card out of the eight... and it looks like it's not gonna make it past this round :(

Man, Devon White vs. Andy Etchebarren. How do you choose one?

That Don Money card is so bad. The airbrushed cap is awful, and it looks like Topps let a 7 year old do the lines on the uniform. I ended up voting for the older card in each matchup this week.

Healy, Robinson, Speier, Andy. White has perhaps his best card here but those bats!!!!!

I'm thinking Healy could win it all!
