Here's another in the occasional micro mini frankensets series. An odd pairing of Brian Jordan cards. You could make arguments either way to pick one of these.
You could go with this
Or you could go with that
I think they are both where it's at.
I know not if Ricky Jordan has anything to do with Brian, but he is practically his own twin on these 2.
Instead of a brother from another mother, he's got a picture from a different angle. Everything about it appears to be identical but for his position. I've tried to place fans or even the fences on the right side in the other card, but I think it is so far to the opposite side of the field that the Pylon behind him is not the same pylon, but 2 different pylons 15-20 feet apart from each other.
You can see the same patterns in the folds of his uniform, especially the way his pants bunch up on his left ankle. Why is he in the outfield trying to rob homers when he is listed as a 1B by Upper Deck?
Black Sheep's The Choice is Yours immediately comes to mind. Loved that era of hip hop.
ReplyDeleteNice observations and matchups.
ReplyDeleteGood eye on both of these.
ReplyDeleteOn the Ricky photos - the fans in the background are so casual, it seems unlikely they're reacting to a flyball hit in their direction. Maybe he's corraling a wild throw in between innings warm ups?
That 93 UD is a nice "wrong position" card. Have some of those in my Frankensets.
