The Non-Reds Frankenset: Cards #523 - 540

Today, I thought I should return to my non-Reds Frankenset in an effort to finally remove the box of cards and binder from my card sorting table. I have a stated resolution for the year to get that table cleaned off (even if only for a single day), so it'd be a big help if I could eliminate the Frankenset stuff! Let's get back to it, starting with the page for cards #523 - 531.

Cards 523 - 531:



Best card on the page:  I think I like the Sammy Sosa Stadium Club the best though the very young Omar Vizquel card is a favorite from my childhood.  

Worst card on the page:  I don't love having two cards from the same set on a single page and on this page that happened not once, but rather twice.  

#'s missing still:  91, 190, 191, 193, 194, 195, 196, 196, 198, 199, 227, 279, 347, 353, 368, 369, 373, 375, 399, 401, 406, 415, 417, 436, 445, 459, 463, 465, 466, 471, 473, 476, 485, 488, 489, 490, 491, 493, 496, 497, 498, 499, 506, 507, 511, 512, 516, 522, 523

Cards 532 - 540:



Best card on the page:  I've liked that Jeff DaVanon card from the moment I saw it, even if I can't exactly explain why.  The Greg Maddux card from '88 Donruss is also kind of nice.

Worst card on the page:  Just like the previous page, I've got two sets represented on this page by two different cards.  Also, that Mike Deveraux card might as well not even be in my binder as there isn't anything about that card that I like.  

#'s missing still:  91, 190, 191, 193, 194, 195, 196, 196, 198, 199, 227, 279, 347, 353, 368, 369, 373, 375, 399, 401, 406, 415, 417, 436, 445, 459, 463, 465, 466, 471, 473, 476, 485, 488, 489, 490, 491, 493, 496, 497, 498, 499, 506, 507, 511, 512, 516, 522, 523, 533, 536, 538

That's all I have time for today but it's a small step toward getting my desk emptied off.  I am starting to think that I might want to cut my non-Reds Frankenset set a bit shorter than the 792 cards I had originally planned on.  The pickings are getting mighty slim up the 500s, I can only imagine how few choices I'll have once we get into the 600s and above!

  1. I like the angle on the Giles card. That's my favorite from these two pages.
