Well, I keep seeing other cards that I like, but I can't stop buying these! My number is now 19 with the purchase of a low grade Overall, Summers, and Stone (No Hands). Still not a big # and not high grade, but these are addictive. I collected postwar forever, but I am as happy with these as I was any NM 7 from the 60s.

Krak me up one
 

+ 1 for my Kraken number.
I was able to stop mulling over when to add Mullin to the collection.

Its getting harder towards the end here, boys....I have 98 different cards for a Kraken total of 151 (QC needed...Brian P)

Only 8 more single pointers remain. After that...tough cards to find and buy.

But I'm not giving in to an oversized plate of calamari.
Who's got a Duffy or Walsh to sell?

Great cards so far. From watching the hobby for many years, we all know the last E90-1s can be really, really difficult.

Well I follow this thread but never contributed. Wanted to join when I busted a score of 100 which I just recently did. But I’ve made a big purchase (let’s use the number 521 ;) ) and these guys are gonna have to go.

But still, wanted to share a pic of them as of this morning.

76 cards that would have scored a 104. Donovan is in the mail heading my way.

Fun group, with interesting nuance.

Great pic Jeff. I see a few I'd be interested in. Are they headed to the BST or elsewhere?

Will probably keep it close within the BST and some Facebook group pages. Need to go through and scan them all.

Have always enjoyed this thread!

Nice group shot! You posted before their departure...that counts for me. An E-Monster number of 105 will be noted for posterity.

Brian

Thanks to the great Thromdog sell-off of 2019, please bump me up to 165 to reflect adding the Clarke-Pittsburgh and Keeler-red portrait cards. 11 to go but...

Re: Kraken
 

Need only seven-Jackson, Keeler (throwing), O'Connor, both Wagners and Both Youngs.

Judson...congrats on passing up poor stagnant me, and Ed, I updated you up to 198. And congrats too on scaling further up to the head of the beast.

Brian

Been a little while since I added a card but I can be slightly bumped up to 99 with Keeler throwing.

Nice card. I love the pose on this one, and your example just screams "I'M OLD"! One more common and its 3 digits for you.

Brian

Hey Brian,

Please add three to my total, now at 22, with the additions of Unglaub, O'Connor and Fromme.

Thanks a lot

AndyH

158
 

Duffy was a toughie.
But now he's in the fold.

I missed Jeff's sale or I may have acquired a few more Kraken points.
But with this squid, patience is prudent.

Please edit my score as your time will allow, Mr. P.

Very true. The E-Squid does not tolerate impatience. Congrats on the pickups Brian (my collection still remains Duffy-less) and Andy (O'Conner is a key 1 pointer).

Brian

All of this talk about Duffy made me work a deal for this one that had been on eBay for some time. Comparing it with others that have sold, I got it for a fair price. Trimmed on bottom but I'll take it. Bump to 106 requested!

Duffy
 

Nice pick up - I guess you didn't want to go for Dean's overpriced copy.

Haha, yeah not quite for me.

Congrats Anson...I guess my affordable Duffy shall have to wait.

Brian

Haha, man, I passed on that card so many times. Seemed like it was there forever. I just didn't see another and figured I better grab it before someone else did.

Brian and Jeff have put me up to 98. closing in on 100.

Go get 'em Larry!
It's a great set.
Just dont Krak up...

A 43 point Kraken boost in about 1/2 a year...pretty impressive Larry, glad to help out.

Brian

Drop me to 54 Brian....

A 57 point drop in Kraken status is also pretty impressive, just in another way.

Brian

Man, no Kraken updates in a few weeks? Here are a couple I picked up this past week. Bump to 110 requested! Thanks to Brian for the Crawford.

Anson, your Crawford and Lajoie (nice pickups!) have an equal amount of card missing, just in the Crawford it is concentrated in one area. 110 it is...

Brian

Haha, I never looked at it like that.

Great stuff in this thread!

Started grabbing a few e90s I like ! Really liking this set commons to me look better than most other sets of the times

Anyways here the few I've picked up so far

RE: Kraken
 

Picked up the O'Connor and Young-Boston. Still need Jackson, Keeler-Throwing, both Wagners and Young-Cleveland. Hope to knock one more off the list by the end of the year.

Thanks to Mark Macrae for knocking the tough Jerry Upp off my list. Slight bump to 113 for me.

Put me at 113 too.

You turn your back on the Kraken for just a brief amount of time and look what happens...a newbie (welcome aboard C-mack) and 3 updates.

Brian

Thanks! Now I need some more points to throw up lol

Picked up a couple more, including this well-loved Plank to get me to 118.

E90-1
 

Brian

Add to my 2nd set tally this Cy Young (image is actually that of Irv Young)…. and 6 commons.
I leave the math up to you.
Thanks,

The Kraken feels lonely, but its a good day for this Knight as he scanned so bright.

Brian

Brian, I was going to wait for a more substantial update but I can't stand to see the Kraken in agony. A few minor pickups lately for me, including this Vic Willis, get me to 121.

The Kraken knows how to provoke a post...thy number has been raised!

Brian

Brian put me at 120

You are right on Anson's tail Larry.

Brian

Bumping this awesome thread...I have a Mitchell SGC 2.5 if anyone wants the +7 :)

Three somewhat tougher cards in the past few days with Graham, Seigle, and Bescher for an 8-point bump to 129. Graham is laminated but with that card, you take what you can get.

Is this Speaker the same one that just sold via PWCC in raw form? It looks very similar.
Tedzan’s post from 2017. Ted if you’re still around would you confirm?

I always liked the look of Graham, and since your card is laminated, you will get to enjoy that look forever. Everybody should be laminating their E90-1 cards immediately!

Brian

Only a one-card addition here but it's a tough one in the Dots Miller sunset variation. Would love to know where these are all hiding. I may have missed one or two but I've seen only one for sale in more than a year. I've had a very tough time finding one.

Up to 132 now and my goal of getting to 100 cards by the end of the year now seems reasonable.

Drought is over
 

The Kraken at my house was dried up for a few months. The Kraken tricks and lulls one to sleep, it’s part of the evil.

But it has taken on water today...OBC Secret Santa Andy H. (Cobbspikedme) mailed a VERY generous Art Fromme for the holidays.
It’s a plus one for my Kraken number but it’s a multiple thumbs up for a great guy!
Thanks Andy!

I’m going harder after this Kraken Monster in 2020 based on this inspiration!

Re: Kraken
 

I picked up the lot in the recent Lelands auction. It had the Keeler-throwing, leaving me needing Jackson, both Wagners and Young-Cleveland. I have almost 100 duplicates and hope to upload my updated website over the weekend. Will offer a discount to my fellow Krakenites. Stay tuned...

Ed, looking forward to seeing what dupes you might have!

And, Brian, for my overall Kraken number, please bump to 137 when time permits. Got this Cobb in the recent REA auction.

Just finished my 520 version of the monster so joining the insanity with 3 in the collection! Looking for mid grade PSA cards if anyone has any they'd like to move. PM if you have any you're looking to move!
