I started out on Set Builds but soon hit the Frankensets...

 ...FREE CARDS to the first person who can tell me where I cribbed this line from.

I started off building the Archives and Heritage sets and have finished several years' worth of base and some inserts (and still looking to finish those for the sake of it).  But as I put them all into card binders, I sat with them in my lap feeling rather underwhelmed.  I'd heard of this concept of Frankensets and had been tossing cards in a box based on various criteria and suddenly the idea of assembling by number all the cards of something that interested me re-lit my collector fires.  So now I have about 5 different Frankensets in various stages of completion and even more in the conception phase. 

And once I figure out all the bells and whistles of making this look snazzy, I'll start my ponderous oversharing on such topics as all my cards that picture Wrigley Fields Ivy in the background and the ongoing frustrating joy of finding cards defaced by juvenile delinquents abusing writing implements.

  2. Nice to meet you, I feel like we’ve done a trade or two, tho. There was someone who beat you to the answer but did not do so publicly so we may have to have a card duel to determine the winner. Thanks.

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....
