What's your Monster number?

[Stetson_1883]

First time posting my number Frank. Im at 120.

[brianp-beme]

After a court mandated recount, it has been revealed that instead of 502, I only have 499. I guess those hanging chads on T206 ballots just don't count. Sadly reduce my number to just below the 500 home run club. Platinum level status temporarily revoked.

[cool-vintage]

My number is now 8 after I added my third card for my Boston Braves team set.

[Topps206]

I'm at seven with a Bridwell no cap.

[PM770]

Please increase mine to 15:

Chase, trophy - Polar Bear (Thanks Mr. Gross!)

Yes (and I mean that for both Mr. Gross and the Chase-trophy card!)

[gemmint77]

Update me to 84 Please. Thanks to some board members for recent pickups.

It took 8 months to add 5. When you get to this level, it gets hard (and expensive). Remaining needs are all HOFers and just 2 SLers.

I agree with that statement all the way to the piggy bank

[argpdt]

Just acquired a Barney Pelty. Monster number is now 20.

[Beatles Guy]

3 more puts me at 34.

[Topps206]

George Stone and Bridwell cap has me at 9.

[brianp-beme]

After recounting earlier this month and having to reduce my MN to 499, I was forced by the gods of even numbers to pick up another T206 I didn't already own.

To be topical, Frank please shill me up to 500.

You won't be the first shilled MN Brian.

[rsdill2]

Picked up an EPDG Wilhelm from a board member. Bump me up to 29, please.

On another note, I wonder how long before the shill list becomes more viewed than this post.

[SushiX37]

Added a few more, please increase my number to 121.

Rich

[jasonc]

Now at 67.

[argpdt]

Acquired 2 more. Now at 22.

[MartyFromCANADA]

I own 6 T206 cards. Gibson, McLean, Ford, Clarke, Randall, Congalton.

Also, I donated a Gibson to the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame. So, they're at 1, as far as I know.

Cheers, Marty

[mullinsm]

I have moved up the list a bit since my last report and now stand at 350 (67.9%). I still have a number of easier cards to acquire, but eventually I'm going to have to focus on the heavy hitters to improve.

Speaking of which, I did manage a huge score on ebay recently. I will post pictures when I get it back from the grader...

Thanks.

Dear Dr. Frank,

I have to update my Monster Number:

I have sold my set of 520 (the Magie will be in an upcoming auction).

I have to thank all my GREAT net54 T206 FRIENDS who helped me along.

It my be sad, but basically I came to a point were I really had no room for improvement, it was a nice clean and consistent set. AND, I can say "I did it."

Going to take a break, reassess things, and probably jump back in. The hunt was the fun part, and believe me it was FUN !!!!!!


so, my "new" Monster number is now officially:

1 (Howard, Sav. Hindu)


Fun, fun, Scott

Let's get to 200,000 views before those crooks in the rear view mirror?

[Louieman]

Update to my t206 count: just 2!

Merkle throwing, and Keeler with bat

I've reasoned those are the only two t206's I absolutely need

[tedzan]

Update my set #3 to 514 cards.

And, my #4 to 238 cards.


Thanks,

Hi Frank it's been seven weeks since I last posted. I've added the three cards needed to reach my goal of 518! A little about my set:
I display my cards in 20 pocket sheets in a binder. I had to "crack" out 73 cards broken down like this: SGC: ("A" 14 diff) ("10" 23 diff) ("20" 11 diff) ("30" 3 diff) ("35" "40" "55" 1 each) PSA: ("A" 4 diff) ("1" 8 diff) ("1.5" 3 diff) ("2" 3 diff) ("3" 1)
I want to upgrade 40 cards (including 9 HOF) so that should keep me busy for awhile
#516 was Bill Dahlen (Brooklyn). I was in California a couple weeks ago when I got a text from one of my fellow OBC members who told me this card had just gone up on eBay. Price was $205 OBO and I didn't even bother to offer I just bought it. Cracked out of a PSA 1 slab.

#517 Cy Young (bare hand shows). I saw this card on eBay (I thought I recognized the seller ID as Net54 member Luke L) and it was just about in my price range. A couple days later, Luke posted it here in BST section with a $50 discount (I think) from the eBay price. I bought it 10 minutes after Luke posted it!

#518 Shag Shaughnessy. Cracked out of a PSA "2" holder this was a part of board member Steve W. collection that was sold on EBay through "Invest In Baseball".

[mybuddyinc]

Larry,

CONGRATULATIONS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great Job !!!

I think I predicted a while ago that Shag would be your last card .....

Although, BEWARE, Mr. Demmitt and O'Hara are lurking behind the next corner.

Fun stuff, Scott

[reddog4063]

1. Abstein, Bill
2. Alperman, Whitey
3. Armbruster, Herman
4. Ball, Neal
5. Barry, Jack
6. Burchell, Fred
7. Burke, Jimmy
8. Clarke, JJ
9. Donohue, Jigs
10. Graham, Bill
11. Howard, Del
12. Emil Batch

I can provide pictures.

EDIT: make that 12. Bought a Emil Batch while browsing this thread and getting the itch to buy another lol


Thanks!
Joe

Frank --

Please update my Monster number to 402 for my first set, 34 for my second set. Three cards from Luke L that just arrived in the mail put me over the 400 mark. (I thought that another card that arrived the other day from another board member was my 400th, but I had miscounted, and it was only #399.)

This isn't part of my official Monster number tally, but I also have back runs going on four card for which I have at least six different backs each. For the record, they are:

Camnitz arms at sides (6): Piedmont 460/25, SC 460/30, Sovereign 460, Polar Bear, Tolstoi, EPDG

Quinn (6): Piedmont 350, SC 350/25, SC 350/30, American Beauty 350 frame, Broad Leaf 350, Cycle 350

Camnitz arms over head (7): Piedmont 460/25, SC 460/30, SC 460/42 overprint, Sovereign 460, Polar Bear, EPDG, Cycle 460

Wiltse portrait w/cap (8): Piedmont 460/25, Piedmont 460/42, SC 460/30, SC 460/42 overprint, Sovereign 460, Polar Bear, Tolstoi, Lenox (black)

[Wildfireschulte]

Dr Frank - I'm at 516 - picked up a Young port the other day. I now just need the other two Young-sters to reach my goal.

[mybuddyinc]

Frank,

I tried T206 Anonymous for a while, but they said I have to admit I have a problem --- That's ridiculous --- I can stop anytime I want,

Throw me in at 188 (thanks to all the enablers on this board )
