Do you have cards that have been defaced or defiled by some punk kid with no respect for the game?


Or by some witty doodler who had more time sniffing the marker than talent scribbling with it?

Or by a savagely furious 10 yo with a ball point pen exploding at some guy for blowing the game or just because he hates the name Leo?  

Well trade them to me for my "Defaced, Defiled and Downright Trashed" Frankenset.

I'm trying to find the worst condition cards I can to fill in every number.  These are the cards you would be embarrassed to put on your trade list regardless of who they are.  Every chewed up, creased, torn, hole poked, pockmark dirty ratty rounded corner edge ripped and torn garbage board stomped on with golf cleats can be repurposed into my set.  I'll even trade for them (not much, necessarily, mind you, but I will)




Every Card tells a story and if I can gather up enough of these to put in a binder I can't wait to see what kind of a tale they will tell.

  1. Good luck with the project! I'll have to keep an eye out for "well-loved" cards...

Micro mini frankensets, 1st of a semi regular subset series.

 You can make a frankenset out of any theme that tickles your fancy.  I tend to notice odd things when I'm knee deep in a pile of cards....
