Phillies TTM Frankenset Returns

The Phillies' Frankenset began in April 2019 when I came up with the design for the Pat Neshek card (card #3).  The concept was to bridge the gap between traditional "custom index cards" and true custom baseball cards.  I wanted a design that was classy, minimal and had plenty of negative space to accommodate larger autographs and signatures with inscriptions (or, in the case of Tommy Greene, both).  When I got to Bobby Shantz (cards #1 & 2) I came up with the idea of acknowledging a player's accomplishments while with the Phillies.  So since Bobby, I've been adding all-star game and World Series logos as well Wall of Famers.  The three exceptions are Tom Herr (representing the Atlantic League's Lancaster Barnstormers and their 2006 AtL Championship), Mickey Morandini (1988 US Olympic team member) and Don Carman (1980 Carolina League Championship).  I've also, with the exception of Pat Neshek, have used era-appropriate Phillies logos for all players.

(As with all my custom cards, I claim no rights to the photos or logos.  None of these images are available for sale either as physical cards or digital images.  Dupes may be available for trade for other custom cards with no marketable value.)
