Monster #600: 6/28/2023

bobsbbcards 06-29-2023 05:14 AM

Yowza!! Awesome achievements, both of you! :)



Um, Cobb prices seem to have increased a tiny bit in the last 38 years, 5 months, and 23 days. :o

My quest began in the 80's too, but I don't have a specific date. The cards were Tinker bat off, Evers Cubs on, and Chance yellow. My Cobb bat off was a little more than $100.

AndyG 06-29-2023 09:10 AM

Current total is 600 (2) and 520 (2)

Kevin 06-29-2023 02:35 PM

I really wish I invested in cards in the 2000s rather than women and booze.

Oscar_Stanage 07-09-2023 06:39 AM

Please update my monster # to 208.

498. Been here for a while. Struggling to crack the 500 barrier. Thanks for keeping this up.

bobsbbcards 07-09-2023 05:37 PM

Sorry I missed the posts on 6/29. I promise to do better. :o

BobbyStrawberry 09-22-2023 02:18 PM

I'm at 30 now after a couple recent pickups. Slow and steady wins the race!

I'm up to 360 now, but going to Philly Show tomorrow and hoping to get a lot closer to 400!!!

bobsbbcards 09-25-2023 10:09 AM

Oops. Sorry I missed these two. I'm going to go eat worms. After that, I'll post a spreadsheet for how many worms I've eaten. :o

Mike Eisenbath 09-25-2023 10:03 PM

320 for me, please

I am up to 133/520. Built a good checklist to track percentages: 25% of 520, 28% of HOF cards, 24% of SLers. I have put together my own estimate of the total cost, and I am 21% of the expected cash. As time has passed, I get less and less excited about O’Hara/Demmit St Louis so it may be that I do 518. Anyhow, here are some of the better pickups so far. Thank you to many on this board who have sold me some fairly priced cards.

yanks87 09-27-2023 09:39 PM

Just crossed off a bunch after a crazy summer, I am at 504 with some spendy cards in my future! That's the fun part of the hunt!

Vintageloz 09-30-2023 06:47 PM

Hi Bob, my new number is 40!

trambo 10-01-2023 06:08 AM

Set #2 for me (#93 on your list) can be removed. I got it to 520 and decided I didn’t need 2 sets. It’s on its way to a new home now. My 680 is great and better than ever!!

toledo_mudhen 10-01-2023 10:17 AM

Hey Bob -

Have moved up a bit - Now at 121 Slabbed T206's

Thanks

Mattymc727 10-05-2023 08:02 AM

125 for me, most for a raw binder. 12 slabs for a Boston Red Sox case

Taking a break now! Unsure if I’ll go 520…but I’m young!

bobsbbcards 10-05-2023 05:39 PM

Everybody's updated! :)

P.S. Troy, you still have a trambo (3) set on the list with 30 cards. Should I remove that one? Lemme know.

brewing 10-08-2023 11:54 AM

I’m at 519

Thanks for checking. I probably have more than 30 doubles but please remove that one, too! Appreciate you keeping me on the straight and narrow....haha!

That's the sole reason for my existence. ;)

Everybody is (should be) up to date. Let me know if you find another card in your sofa....or the neighbor's sofa (even better).

Johnny T 10-11-2023 06:10 PM

I'm up to 398 now...excited for the home stretch!

Bobbycee 12-09-2023 06:32 AM

Just added O'Hara, St. L. Now at 519, needing only Demmitt St.L for 520.

chrisn28 12-09-2023 06:59 PM

Go Bob, so close! Saving one of the toughest for last.

My number can be updated to 489.

Bobbycee 01-23-2024 02:50 PM

Just added Demmitt St. L. Made it to 520!! What a ride, loving every minute of it.

Cory 01-23-2024 02:52 PM
