The (Second) Dime Box Frankenset, Page 17: Numbers 145-153


Frankenset Page #41 WINNER -- 1967 Topps #363 Dave Johnson (13 votes)

I haven't written on the blog since my last frankenset post (dammit, work), but that didn't stop a nice little battle from building up with last week's page.

Despite a surprising run from the head-over-heels '95 Score Pat Kelly, bunting Davey Johnson grabbed 13 votes to Kelly's 11 (of 36 total) for the win. My personal choice actually wouldn't have been either: I'm partial to the Boston Strong Daniel Nava (which came in third with a mere six tallies).

But the public has spoken, so into the Gallery of Frankenset Champions Mr. Johnson will go.




Here's hoping for another close race this week, with Page 17 (#s 145-153) on display as per the Random Number Generator.

Let's meet the nominees.



2016 Stadium Club #145 Carl Edwards Jr.

Glove-on-head autograph shots are the best autograph shots. 



1991 Upper Deck #146 Ozzie Canseco

OMG...twinning! 



2014 Topps Update #US147 James Jones

A picturesque leap. 



2017 Stadium Club #148 Carson Fulmer

White Sox throwbacks are all over my frankensets, and here's another. 



1993 Upper Deck #149 Pat Borders

Seriously, does anyone not like '93 Upper Deck? 



1990 Upper Deck #150 Domingo Ramos

Turning two at Wrigley. 



1990 Upper Deck #151 Rick Honeycutt

That time when Upper Deck hired a two-foot-tall photographer. 



2014 Bowman #152 Kris Medlen

Negro League throwback!



1995 Stadium Club #153 Andy Van Slyke

Stadium Club rules, now and forever.

That just about does it for this week's page. The polls are now on the sidebar.

Happy voting!

  1. Rick Honeycutt looks like a police officer scribbling out a speeding ticket. He gets my vote for the Halloween-timed post.

  6. Awesome action. Balls to the wall. Play at the plate. Willie Mays replica. I'm gonna go with the Jones Update rookie card.

  7. The beautiful at the wall play, the stirrup socks, and the strangely high number seal the deal for me. Jones gets my vote.
