Default E 90-1 The Caramel Monster

I’m the wrong guy to try and compile and record the progress of anyone’s set since I can barely be counted on to count my own...

But I found myself making good progress on the Caramel Monster. Very little recent postings can be found on this site, but there are a few excellent older posts describing the “Toughies” and pop reports etc.

Anyway after a couple good transactions with Brian McQ and Cory W, I find myself at 76.

I have a lot of the HOFERS and TOUGHIES, so these 76 aren’t just the easiest ones. Past threads have indicated that most collectors stall about 90-100 cards, seems like there are 120 (not without debate, since they are unnumbered )

In this set, the acquisition of any individual card is not equal...getting a low grade Joe Jackson will cost you Cadillac money. Getting a low grade Stanage will cost you two “Cappuccino and Scones” money. Finding the Mitchell and Sweeney cards would be a needle in a haystack and cost a bunch!

Who’s collecting the set?
Who wants to weigh in on a weighting system?
Who wants to keep track of the group’s Caramel Monster Number?
