Way back when, I remember the Mike Mitchell card was considered the key to the set. Lew Lipset even referred to it as the T206 Honus Wagner of the caramel cards. There doesn't seem to be so much interest in it these days, or at least that is my impression. Maybe that is because so few come to market. Any Mitchell stories?

The Mitchell card is tough but available in lower grade. I would say that above a VG 3 grade, it gets very tough.

E90-1 set
Hi Brianp
Thanks for including me on your list with "honorary mention". That's fine, since I don't have the set anymore. I do not recall if I had Miller sunset in this set. Back in those days (circa 1980's-1990's), the primary concern was getting guys like Bemis, Clarke (Pitts), Donlin, Duffy, Graham, Karger, Keeler, Lobert, McLean, M.Mitchell, Shean, Speaker, B.Sweeney, Stahl, Upp, Walsh, etc. I'll provide you the numbers on my current set later today (or tomorrow).

You can put me down at 4.....but highest graded should get at least another half point!!

Feel free to post scans of your whole E90-1 collection, and I can break out the abacus and figure out your E-Monster number.

The Kraken Abacus in Action
Here is an example of the Kraken Abacus in action. Please view the below scans.
Note that in the top row Cobb is worth 5 E-Monster points, while the Graham and Plank are worth 4 points each. Each card in the second row (Karger, Shean and Joss throwing) are worth 3 points each. The bottom row of Schlitzer, Hartzell and Donovan are worth 1 point. A few quick flips of the wrist on the Kraken Abacus would result in assigning this collection of 9 E90-1 cards 25 E-Monster points. Please note that condition is not relevant, nor are cards missing large portions downgraded (For example Cobb is still worth 5 points despite the fact that in actual cardboard material he would likely be only equivalent to 4 points, and the Karger would still be 3 points instead of 2.25 points). The next Kraken Abacus calculation can be yours. Brian |
