I haven't touched my non-Reds Frankenset since June of last year. I'd love to get this project back underway so what better time to start than right now?!
Cards 271 - 279:
Best card on the page: The Justin Maxwell rookie where he's hitting a baseball in the not-yet-completed Washington Nationals stadium is an awesome shot (look at all the real dirt and people in hard hats in the background)!
Worst card on the page: Probably either the Jonny Gomes or the Kevin Tapani. The Tapani card just looks awkward, lots of weird angles going on with Kevin's body...and none of them look comfortable!
#'s missing still: 91, 190, 191, 193, 194, 195, 196, 196, 198, 199, 227, 279
Cards 280 - 288:
Best card on the page: Now that I'm a father, I LOVE seeing cards like Dunston's with his son. Super precious. The Brian Jordan card from the 1998 Topps set is also a fairly iconic shot. Speaking of the 1998 Topps set, that might be one of the most underrated Topps flagship sets in the 90s!
Worst card on the page: The Pokey Reese card isn't terribly exciting, though I always liked Pokey so I don't mind him in the binder. This is a solid page, especially for a page full of cards numbered in the upper 200s!

Cards 289 - 297:
Best card on the page: Another great father/son shot, this time with JT Snow. I also like the shot of Ozzie going airborne and the Tucker card from 1993 Select (another set that I think is severely underrated from the 90s).
Worst card on the page: The Rick Miller card is crap (and blurry to boot)! It might almost be better to simply have an empty spot in the binder!

Cards 298 - 306:
Best card on the page: A play at the plate, Mike Trout making a mess in the dirt, or Bernie with seriously outdated technology, you can't go wrong with any of the cards in the top row.
Worst card on the page: Probably the Ian Snell card but I do like cards featuring pitchers batting (especially bunting).

That will do it for today's post. Nice to have another 36 card numbers figured out and placed in the binder (well, technically 35 since I am missing one card from this batch). Let's hope my next time working on my non-Reds Frankenset isn't another six months from now!

Lots of great cards here! My favorites are the flying fielders - Walker, Smith, and Victorino!
ReplyDeleteI thought the pages were surprisingly strong for cards numbered in the 200/300s!
DeleteI actually like the Mark DeRosa with the football. The Larry Walker and the Dunston are cool too.

DeleteThanks for the welcome. Your blog is on my list too.
DeleteNot a fan of them... but there are some solid Red Sox cards on these pages... including that Gomes.
ReplyDeleteIs that a JT Snow onesie?
