It's time to take a look at a few more cards and see which ones
deserve inclusion in my Red Sox Frankenset. Just a refresher, I'm going
through my Red Sox doubles and picking the best at each number for
the
Frankenset. Let's roll!
#25
Favorite Card: 1994 Collector's Choice #25 Trot Nixon (FRDP, RC)
My Choice: same
I'll admit, this one was a tough one. Although Raffy and Nomar are solid choices, I kept going back and forth between Mo and Trot. Ultimately, I felt the simplistic shot of Nixon with the cloud background was the best choice.
#26
Favorite Card: 2015 Topps #26 Bryce Brentz (RC)
My Choice: same
I'm not a huge fan of either of these cards to be honest. Clemens is a better player, and the card notes one of the many highlights from his amazing MVP season. However, this card design is ugly! Brentz is the opposite - He only played in 34 MLB games, but I really like the design on the 2015 Topps set. Since a Clemens card from this set has already made the Frankenset, I went with the lesser known Bryce Brentz.
#27
Favorite Card: 2016 Topps Gypsy Queen #27 Craig Kimbrel
My Choice: same
No other options but to go with Kimbrel for the final spot! At least it's a good looking card from the All-Star's time with Boston!
With these selections, I have completed the third page of my Frankenset!
Not bad, there's a nice mix of Hall of Famers, very good players, and some lesser knowns. I couldn't help but notice the first column is mainly poses, minor action in the middle column, and cards with the most movement in the rightmost column.
In case you're interested...
I haven't added to my Braves Franken-Set in a good minute.
