Expos Frankenset Pages 51 and 52

So here's the next two pages:

Page 51

Card 451 is a 1990 Score Nelson Santovenia
Card 452 is a 1993 Bowman Moises Alou
Card 453 is a 1986 Donruss Gary Lucas
Card 454 is a 1991 Score Dennis Martinez
Card 455 is a 1992 Upper Deck Marquis Grissom
Card 456 is a 1991 Upper Deck Andres Galarraga
Card 457 is a 1991 Donruss Tim Raines
Card 458 is a 1987 Donruss Andre Dawson
Card 459 is a 1989 Upper Deck Floyd Youmans

There is some interesting photography there, with the play at the plate in Santovenia's card, the mid-bunt capture on the Grissom, Galarraga signing a bat, and the follow through on Youmans' card.

Page 52

Card 460 is a 1997 Topps Moises Alou
Card 461 is a 1992 Pinnacle John Wetteland 
Card 462 is a 1991 Topps Steve Frey
Card 463 is MISSING
Card 464 is a 1993 Topps Gold Greg Colbrunn
Card 465 is a 1990 O Pee Chee Kevin Gross 
Card 466 is a 1990 Upper Deck Larry Walker
Card 467 is a 2002 Fleer Tradition Henry Mateo
Card 468 is a 1990 Upper Deck Kevin Gross

1997 is a rather nice set from Topps.. If I wasn't trying to refocus my collecting goals, I'd probably want to collect that set. 
Henry Mateo is one of those "Who?" guys represented here, I think. He played 190 games in 6 years with the Expos and the NotTheSpos. 
I get a kick of seeing pitchers batting on cards..

  1. Hopefully card #466 will become a hall of fame rookie card in the very near future.

  2. I vaguely recall Henry Mateo but I've never seen the 2002 Fleer Tradition set before. Gary Lucas isn't ringing a bell; I thought he pitched for the Reds but I guess I'm thinking of someone else. This is why I enjoy seeing all these different Expos players and cards. I'm learning a lot from this series.

    1. Lucas played for the Padres before Montreal and the Angels afterward.
