On a good note, it is the weekend, and already this week I have put a huge dent thumbing over those 7,500 cards (from a few weeks ago) pulling out "mini" hits for me and others.
Now to tonight's main event, the Franken-pages 31-33, cards numbers 271-297. However, I had a card from last friday in the incorrect slot as you will see in the first scan tonight (top row middle) is card #270 and should have been in the last slot last week. It is just hanging out there is slot #272, or was there. I fixed it.

Good mix years, and players. I especially like hitting the pages with some vintage on them like the Aaron above.

Another great mix here, and a couple of vintage as well. Love that bottom row.

Good mix of players and sets. That Chambliss is perfect for the center card on this page.
Awesome. I want to thank you. You have inspired me to start a Pirates Frankenset. How high are you going if I can ask?
ReplyDeleteNolan, As of now my highest card in the set is #880, but I actually do not have a limit considering Braves have card #s as high as 4809 (LOL) 2008 UD Documentary (I hate that set)
ReplyDeleteI don't plan on going that high. Maybe 800. Do you search out different numbers? What is your process? I started finding cards and players I liked and then I will start plugging holes.
ReplyDeleteDang blogger, its not letting me reply to the individual comments.
ReplyDeleteNolan, My Franken-Set is made up from 100% duplicate cards (actually, initially was made up of quadruplicate cards). When ever I get a double, I check it to see if that slot is open, if so it goes in there no matter what.
ReplyDeleteMany other people/bloggers have different methods, some actually switch up the slots whenever they run across a better card. I place a card in a slot and it is permanent. I don't "pick" cards for the slot, but take them as they come. This way if you get a double, it may not be so bad, you still might need it.
I've so many Braves double that I am thinking of starting a 2nd franken set that does not duplicate a slot. But havent decided to do so just yet.
Good luck and enjoy you Franken-Set.
