Random Frank Thomas Cards

The Big Hurt

I took a half-day of vacation the day before Thanksgiving and decided to visit the card shop near where I work before heading home. I picked up these Frank Thomas cards, 4 of the 5 are retro cards.
2003 Upper Deck Play Ball #18. This is a nice set, based on a pre-World War II set of the same name.
2004 Donruss Kings #38. As I've probably mentioned before, this is one of my all-time favorite sets.
2007 Topps Turkey Red #26 regular back. All of the Turkey Red sets are good but the 2007 issue is probably my least favorite.
2007 Allen & Ginter #160. The 2007 set was virtually identical to the 2006 set but still a great set. Is it just me or does Frank Thomas look out of place in something other than a White Sox uniform?
2004 SP Authentic #59. I don't have many cards from this set, probably because I don't like it very much.

The 2004 DK is one of my favorite Franks that I have in my collection. Great randomness!

I don't like Frank in the Jays uni but I'm not wild about their newest ones in general. I thought he looked good in the much better A's uniforms.
