I've found myself working on Frankensets more than writing about Frankensets the last week or so  I really should be able to find time to do both, but having the spreadsheets up to date lets me look at what I have with some detail rather than saying I currently have "13 inches of Ivy cards".  I started putting those in the  binder and got about halfway thru the stack and up to card 415.  It left me with like 3-4" of duplicate numbers which makes me wonder 2 things.  What am I gonna do with those duplicate numbers and where the hell am I'm going to get 353 more Ivy cards (at specific numbers, no less) to round out the set.  So if you see a particular set that has a lot of Wrigley Ivy cards (1981 Donruss, Fleer 91, Fleer Tradition 98 and 99) let me kwow so I can start scouring through the checklists.  If you happen to have thrown ivy cards into a similar pile and lost interest I want to trade for them. 

Since I last posted I've had a few things turn up in the mail that soon go into the Binder of Misfit Cards:

I'm not sure if Mike Hegan had a reputation of which I'm woefully unaware.

Likewise if you know why someone would take a hatchet to poor Fred's nose I'd sure like to know.

This could only have come from a 3 year old overdue for a nap.

Here that same 3 year old earnestly tries to make Alvin dark. 

Not sure if this was art or geometry practice but it does suggest simplicity sometimes is the best course of action.

This one proves it with 2 little perfectly placed pokes that sends me into hysterics whenever I see it.

Even more than Ivy cards if you have cards like this that have been defaced, I want 'em and I'll trade for them.
