The Long awaited totally new and unannounced Frankenset Announced anew.

 Here are some mockup pages to a new Frankenset I've been playing around with.  Trying to do 1951 to 85 or so I have a page or two of each year's cards in a binder to have a representation of each year's style.  The layout is not totally random, but for the most part not a lot of thought went into how arrange each year quite yet.  


1960


1962  
There are certainly enough Dicks to fill up most years, but I don't have all the cards I need yet (trade with me) so I played around with adding some of the funniest looking guys. It makes me wonder if I should do a Frankenset for team Chew.


1974  


1975


1976 
You really gotta let Pete Ride the Center Square from here on out.  And you don't need to twist my arm to have the Glorious Afro of Oscar Gamble. 


1978 
Here I come up short again and think to expand the criteria of a theme out a bit. Still playing with a bit of Oscar Gamble and Warren Brusstar's white boy afro along with a spare baseball in his cheek


1979 
Still experimenting with the larger but still totally juvenile theme.  I'm also noticing Mr. Brusstar looks like Mr. Yuk and with that much chew in his lip he probably ought to call poison control.  



I've got all the Dicks added to my want list and I'm cool with pretty much any condition.  They don't have to be in horrible shape, but they also don't need to be in great shape. Any shape as long as they are of modest value.  This set is more about the history of cards and Dick is an easy name to find, which didn't have a lot of superstar players with expensive cards.  Most years up thru 1980 the name was common enough to fill up at least one binder page.  I haven't decided how I will organize each page, alphabetically, numerically, by team, or via haiku, so put your ideas in the comments.
