What's your Monster number?

[Bpm0014]

Frank bump me up to:

Gehrig, Mazeroski, Ruth

[jasonc]

Picked up some T206's at a show this past weekend, plus received some in the mail.
Please bump me up to 35.

Thanks.

[Seattle799]

Please update me to 218!

[CobbSpikedMe]

Hi Frank,

I haven't update my number in a little while. Please revise my current Monster Number to 65.

Thanks a lot,

AndyH

[jimtigers65]

I picked up another T206 Tiger from this site. This brings my monster number up to 15 T206s, all Detroit players. I'm at the halfway point for completing a team site. Of course 4 Ty Cobbs is going to be expensive.

[arc2q]

Just hit 100. And proud of it.

[clydepepper]

Frank - please update my T206 total to 28 - just added a nice Bob Bescher portrait.

Thanks

[BlueSky]

Frank,

I was able pickup three more. Please put me at 452.

Regards,
Marty

[Eric72]

Hi Frank,

I just picked up Fielder Jones at the Philly Show (image attached) to bring my Monster Number up to 61.

If you could please update my MN to reflect this, I would appreciate it.

Best regards,

Eric

Occasionally I receive inquiries from collectors who just can't stand the notoriety that comes with having a posted Monster Number. I do respect their "unwarranted" need for privacy though.

The goal of this thread was never to identify where all 2,834,216 cards reside, but going forward I will offer an "Anonymous" listing option. Only you will know who you are, as I will try to forget. Of course this option will require that your posting be done in private, via PM, with the doors closed.

If there is demand for this new service, it may be necessary to add a number, letter or punctuation to your listing. If possible, I will even offer an emoticon option such as "Anonymous ". Just let me know in private, if you are interested in this service. I'll be home tonight.

[ullmandds]

frank...i'd like my monster # to remain anonymous please! I think it was like 14...OOPS!

[brianp-beme]

Let me be the first to jump on this annoy-nymous bandwagon...I have 498.

So there.

Brian (did I just make a tactical error?)

[Vintageismygame]

Please move me to 333.

Thanks,

[h2oya311]

this thread is getting amazingly close to 100,000 views! Figured I'd help out the cause...

[clydepepper]

Frank- Please update me to 29


Ted Z - you are now immortal !

[Cmount76]

I'm thrilled to join the conversation - Put me down for 2

[Koufax32fan]

I have loved this site, and never really understood the Monster Number thread. I think I get it now that I am at 25. So, I am new to the list. Anonymity? Is there such a thing on the Internet? I keep telling my kids that there isn't.

[clydepepper]

Frank - please bump my number to 31 as I picked up Walsh and Killian portraits on the 'Bay tonight.

[I Only Smoke 4 the Cards]

Up to 180

[T2069bk]

Decided to join the monster party, got a good headstart on my fourth attempt to slay the Monster! Start me up at 132 please!

[Eric72]

Hi Frank,

Please update my MN to 64. The collection now includes this beauty...

[Vintageismygame]

Just picked up a Chase Blue Portrait this evening. Mr. Chase makes #340!!

Not bad for 2 months!!

Matt

[bigtrain]

Just picked up another Southern Leaguer, Greminger. Number 490. So close...yet so far.

[Bocabirdman]

Well, finally another piece of the Monster found its way to Boca. That makes an MN of 492.9. From here on out it is going to take as much luck as money. Only the Biggest Dawgs remain. Did I tell you about my new hobby? I drive behind Brinks trucks, hoping for the perfect combination of bump in the road and faulty truck door latch

The newest Boca resident:

488. Ed Walsh P350

[clydepepper]

Frank - please 'Monster' me to 32 - Chance Yellow Portrait.

I guess I'll have to go after Mr. Tinker next.

[edjs]

Hello my good man, Frank. I am now at 81. Trucking right along. Enjoy your weekend!

[soccersaver97]

Start me off at 33! Probably won't be adding too many soon, but hopefully in a few years after college!

[clydepepper]

Frank - please bump me up to 34 with thanks to member Fred Young from whom I got a nice raw Joe Lake and to Levi Bleam who dealt me a Harry Krause PSA-5.

[EGreenwood]

Frank:

I added a trio of portraits this week to bring me up to 57.

[clydepepper]

dagnabit....got frustrated with Ebay customer service and then showed them who's boss:

'Please bump my to 38 with the purchase of (4) PSA-5 cards - Clymer, Mcquilan, Dorner, & Mitchell' - he said meekly.

[clydepepper]

Harry Krause's portrait brings me to 39.

[jasonc]

Big jump.. now at 62.

Thanks

[the 'stache]

Frank, please bump my number up to 42.

4. Bill Abstein
70. Howie Camnitz, Hands Above Head.

Thank you, sir.

[Bocabirdman]

Two more wayward bits found a home in Boca....MN is now 494.9

264. Nap Lajoie (With Bat) SC350
56. Mordecai Brown (Chicago On Shirt) PB

[AMBST95]

Have moved up to 152 after the pickups the last few weeks. Highlights included my first American Beauty 350 No Frame

[chris6net]

Frank, I picked up a bunch more in the past couple of months including my last Cobb bring me up to 510 out of 525
Still need Shag to finish my SLERs then about 5 commons and then the big boys!

[clydepepper]

Frank - please bump my number to 45.

Thank You

p.s.- Be assured that we all appreciate your efforts in keeping up with the running numbers. It makes it a lot easier for the rest of us.

[mullinsm]

I have been laying low for a while (about three years!), as is my nature. Please bump my number to 305. Thanks!

[Seattle799]

Please update me to 221.

[Eric72]

Hi Frank,

If you could please update my Monster Number to 67, I would appreciate it. New pickups include my 2nd Southern Leaguer, which I was happy to acquire.

Best regards,

Eric

[mantleman]

I am now at 160 in my beater t206 set !!

Thank you

[clydepepper]

up to 63 with my most recent 'flurry' - it may be a while before I purchase any others.

[dougscats]

I've been at that number for about a year now, aiming at 518, and hoping this post will break the impasse.

Meanwhile, I've been continually upgrading my collection [aiming at F-VG+ ungraded], and I do enjoy that. I suspect that the chase is more fun than the accomplishment, and that I'm in it for a lifetime.

[Wildfireschulte]

Frank - I picked up 2 more and finally completed the Southern Leaguers - MN is 505. I loved seeing the set of 520 "collector grade" T206's in LOTG sell for $27,500.

[Bocabirdman]

495.9.......55bv. George Brown (Browne) (Washington). And so it goes, the hunt continues. My monkey has grown impatient, though. He has developed a taste for other morsels (T207,T210,T212, etc.) so as not to starve during the interim.

[dougscats]

Wha'd'ya know?--I picked up a Revelle!
soon after posting here.

Now looking for Elberfield, Washington,
as I suspect many of us are.

Good luck.

Doug

[wolf441]

Hi Frank,

Can you please bump me up to 518 when you have a chance? I can now divest myself of the T206 Ty Cobb Green Portrait Net54 reprint placeholder and remove the asterisk now that I have the real thing!

[pgellis]

Added this big one yesterday, thanks to a fellow board member. This makes my MN 484 (all SGC50 or better). Downhill now to 520 after adding this one.

[curtis-cards]

New monster number is 27.

*old username was gangstippie. I changed it recently.
