It's time for another installment of my favorite Frankenset card (by page), where I show off my Frankenset by giving you my top three favorite cards from each page of the Frankenset. This week's cards feature a player on an odd team and two "lesser knowns".

3) 2000 Topps #71, Tim Raines



Raines played a forgettable 58 games with the A's. I don't remember it. You probably don't either. Unless you were a big Raines or A's fan, then maybe you do. If so, kudos to you! Gotta show you the back, too, because I love seeing stat lines from a long career:



2) 1990 Bowman #68, Jose Cano



This one might be puzzling you. It's a card from one of the most boring card designs ever of a little known player standing in front of a jail or something. So, I'll give you a hint. Look at the last name again. Yep, that's Robinson's dad. The definition of a "lesser known" if there ever was one. Robbie's dad pitched in 6 big league games in 1989 and later enjoyed some moderate success playing in China. 


1) 2004 Bowman Draft #69, Ray Liotta



I don't remember how I found this card, but I saw a listing for it on a website before I saw the card itself. Despite this, when the card arrived, it still boggled my mind. I think what made it even more jarring was the fact that this Ray Liotta played in the White Sox organization. And who did the actor Ray Liotta portray in Field of Dreams? Shoeless Joe Jackson, of the White Sox. So fitting.

Random: did you know Ray Liotta married Mark Grace's ex-wife? The Graces divorced in 1993, and Ray Liotta and Michelle Grace were married from 1997 to 2004.

I'll let the back of the card answer the question that may be spinning through your head right now.


Not too surprisingly, no relation. After dominating the competition in Rookie and A ball, Ray Liotta topped out at AAA Omaha (Royals Organization) in 2009.

Which card is your favorite of this week's group?
