Mailbag is the Reason. Ride Frankie Ride

 Well I'm not really going to give you a month of what I got in the mail in one post.  I'm not sure where the time went, but I looked up and realized I'd made some excuse to myself about not having anything to say for at least 15 of the last 30 days.  But being a blog about Frankensets I should probably just let the cards do most of the talking.  The hard-hitting analysis and pithy turns of phrase will come as they may.  

My Canadian TCDB Pal Chrisrivers sent me this classic 1962 Canadian Post Cereal card of Orlando Cepeda. Some Good Ontario Boy out on the prairies of Canada, possibly near a town like Moose Knuckle, was eating Frosted Rocks & Twigs cereal for energy to get out to do some Sluicing for gold on the riverbed before trudging to school uphill in the September snow was able to find the time to poke both Eyes and nostrils out.  

 Not only was the hand cutting it out less than steady, but the kid was slightly off on one of the eyes, probably the Zamboni fumes that kept him constantly lightheaded, which makes poor Orlando look more like an evil Robot Alex 'Worm Lips' Rodriguez who has come from the future like a centaur with laser eyes.

Chris is one of my regular trading pardners from North of the border and without a doubt the most fun.  He tossed in this nifty Barney Rubble, er I mean Schultz card too.

Other TCDB pals, like the above from Jamestagli, started including extras in trades or even occasionally sending me a stash that they have spent years holding on to for no good reason.  I guess I offer a good reason.
