Hey Frank
 
http://i603.photobucket.com/albums/t...igpackt206.jpg


If you accept my last request (Sweet Cap sub-set), then can I also add my AMERICAN BEAUTY 460 sub-set ?

Currently, I have 58 of the 75 subjects required to complete this very rare sub-set.

Thinking.............
 
about Ted's requests. Is a 34 card Monster subset really worthy of a Monster Number or is it some form of Submonster? An accomplishment without doubt but a comparable number to the remainder of the list, I think not. We may be getting into the apples and oranges argument if we continue to add subsets indiscriminately. To date any such variations have been cited as footnotes. I guess, if it were my 34 card subset and it was on a list below Joe Blow's legitimate 35 Monster number that consisted of a stack of beaters, I would be insulted. What percentage of casual viewers take time to read the footnotes anyway? Furthermore if the footnote thing got out of control and more lengthy, I would expect fewer would read them or really care. The subject of back subsets et al was entertained as a possible future consideration in my original post, but has been avoided until recently. I would however encourage members to post such subsets in the thread, but will not dilute the purity of Monster Number list further. A list of references to such posts by post number can be included under the list in Post#1, so that subset enthusiasts can find these unique collections readily.

Hopefully, Ted, you will understand and accept my reasoning here. If you don't, sweetening the pot on our Tinker deal can't hurt.:D:D:D

Frank

I'll try to review the thread to create a list of relevant posts soon.

Frank,

So does that mean you won't count my complete (3 card) Lundgren Chicago subset? :D

Best Regards and Happy Collecting :)

Craig, nice Lundgren trifecta. You don't see the P350 everyday.

But Frank....this "Monster" has tentacles....namely, all the silly sub-sets that we can attach to it :)

Look, this 34-card sub-set (Sweet Cap #649 overprint) is no great accomplishment. But, my American Beauty 460, I consider a "big deal". And, when I complete it,
it is only worth 75 points. Therefore, I will somewhat reluctantly "accept your reasoning" for not adding these "tentacles".

New subject....if I recently broke up one of my "Monsters" and most of it has been sold, do you still accept it ?

If so, I also put together a complete 467-card all SWEET CAPORAL, Factory #30 set (minus Plank & Wagner).

I hope it gets a lot of love.;)
My Lundgren Chicago subset is 1/3 complete.

Ted, c'mon man. It doesn't matter if a centipede has 96 legs or 104 legs, it's still a centipede. A monster is a monster. If you want to start a tentacle thread or an appendage thread, be my guest. I didn't reject the subsets summarily, I merely don't want the monsters commingled with the tentacles. I'm sure the members enjoy seeing them posted here though.
Obviously if you no longer own a tentacle, it should not be posted, and the appendages you do own should be covered at all times.
