Look what Showed up in todays mail

 I scored a bunch of great stuff from an ebay buy today of assorted trashed and defaced cards.  I'm gettin enough that I am now making a spreadsheet of a binders worth, so I know what numbers I have and what I need to fill.  I haven't finished it, nor have I figured out how to post said sheet with the numbers I need. Or I could just periodically post a list of numbers I need filling, if I can figure out a way to get that list of empty numbers from an excel file.

First off, the defaced specimens' of the haul.  I'm debating if I will extend the frankenset beyond any brand/year/player and allow for any sport as well.  Betcha there would be some pretty funny defaced Cricket cards out there.  

I think those are supposed to be bruises on Paul Flatley.  And Killebrew?

This lot will probably make some of you cry but they are just beautiful to my eyes.  





I'm anxiously awaiting the next round of defaced and defiled cards from an ebay deal, but if you have stuff like this, from any sport or time period (doesnt have to be vintage if your pet wombat got ahold of your unfiled cards from Todays Series 1 release) I want them.  And I'll trade for them!

  1. The older the beat up card, the better it is!

    1. But I sure do want to find some good beat up or defaced newer ones. I'll bet the heritage set would be good to doodle things onto for you artistic types.

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....
