Frankenbest Friday

A card from each page in my completed frankensets.  If not the best, one that stands out to me for whatever reason.

Getting basketball done before the season ends:



-  Walton's family was the subject of a popular TV show back in the day.

-  Maravich died while playing basketball.

-  5'7" Webb on 7'0" Daugherty.  Sort of.

-  Lanier guarding Wes Unseld.  The Bullets showed up as the other team on a lot of cards in this era.  Like Topps only had one photographer.    

-  Not a fan of the backwards jersey, but The Logo is a good card to have.

-  Rodman giving Bird an elbow to the chops.  Not all heroes wear capes.

-  Michael Cage appearance on that Karl Malone card.

-  David Robinson on the Olajuwon card.

  1. Some really nice vintage there. Pistol Pete, Rick Barry and more.

  2. A. Not sure if there's a basketball card hall of fame, but if there is... that Hoops Wilkins should be in it. What a fantastic looking card.

    B. 1972-73 Topps is one of my all-time favorite basketball card designs. But we're absolutely on the same page with the backwards jerseys.

    C. Wish that Payton was zoomed out just a tad bit more.
