A Wagner throwing will certainly lift that number up for most.

Pretty impressive second push Anson. The last E90-1 I have picked up was over 5 years ago. But I do not give up hope...someday I may have a few more come my way.

Man, given what I've had to pay for the last several shortprints, I know there have to be more folks out there collecting this set. Show yourselves!

I agree...more E90-1 collectors should expose themselves. Until someone takes up the challenge, here is an American Caramel of the unceasingly creased Kraken variety to hopefully tease out some more E-Monsters.

Brian (I believe this Joss has what is referred to as a 'crackle' finish. It might be even more interesting to look at than a minty example)

I'm one card away (where are you, Ed Phelps?!) after securing a Cy Young Cleveland and a Vic Willis recently.

My first addition in nearly a year. I think this puts me at 200 (116/121).

Welcome aboard Jeff. Really, Ed Phelps has eluded you? Should be a relatively easy one to finish off your set. I will award you an awesome 249 number.

You wouldn't think a dude without shoes would be worth 20 Kraken points, but congrats anyways!

You are now at 200, about 96% towards set completion, but 80% of the way to the Kraken home port...some rough seas ahead. Good luck!

Glad to see that last post brought a few folks out of the woodwork.

A while back, I thought I was shorted three points. That must not have been true because after two pickups of three-pointers, my total should be 215 and not the 218 I thought it would be.

Added Shean and Stone one hand for six points in the last week. Here's Shean while Stone is still in transit.

Missing only Shoeless Joe, Wags Batting, and Stahl now!

So let's try this again -- my total is 215! Apologies for cheating the Kraken on three points.

Good you came forward Anson, because the Kraken himself (it might be herself, as I've been kinda afraid to ask) comes by on occasion and checks folks #'s for accuracy. Not sure how the Kraken knows everyone's true Kraken #'s, but if anyone would, it sure would be the Kraken.

Nice pickups, and all is revised in E-Monster land.

I'm such an idiot. Wagner batting is only seven points, not ten. I'm missing Joe, Wagner Batting, and Stahl -- 32 points missing from the 250 target. So 218 is indeed my total. You should probably leave it as 215 as a penalty for my stupidity.

Don't be so hard on yourself Anson. If this was the T206 Monster # we were dealing with, where practically every card is worth just one point, then I would get worried. The Kraken demands intense, intricate computation and constant vigilance, and slipups are not only expected, but to some degree should be applauded...it means your journey has been fraught with a boatload of danger, but in spite of this you have still made much progress across turbulent seas.

Thus, for the time being, 218 you are and shall be.

Hi John, I will put you down for a Kraken number of 6 because of these two cards. I do not see a previous Kraken number for you. Do you have other E90-1 cards that can be added to boost your score?

Brian, I do indeed and thought I was in the Kraken registry. Your computer must have dropped me. My current K. count, including the Walsh comprises:
1. Cobb
2. Young Boston
3. Lajoie
4. Matty
Tks. John

With the Walsh and Evers (by the way, some heavy hitters and pitchers in that lineup), your total is 22.

Looks like I haven’t provided an update in over 5 years, my bad! I pathetically only moved up to 94. Got some work to do. Awesome to see so many of you close to the finish line, congrats!

Your pace is zippity-quick compared to mine. I have been able to add 5 Kraken points to my score since I started this thread, and those 5 came within the first few months. So nothing since your previous update. Definitely E90-1 is a long haul set to collect for most collectors.

This Speaker isn't very pretty (neither is the Kraken, I'm told), but it gets me to 210 (117/121).

That is the E90-1 Speaker of my dreams. I personally think it is the most difficult of all E90-1 cards to track down, not only because it is scarcer than most other E90-1 cards, but also since it is popular due to Tris being a big name Hall of Famer, and typically just plain expensive.

Just 40 more whacks at the Kraken for you!

Wee Willie wishes you all a happy St. Patkraken's Day. Either flash your E-Monster gang sign (number), or a hole in the greater neck region may be your pot o' gold result.
