Time flies
I noticed this thread got elevated recently and I’m grateful to see it.
My own Kraken Kwest halted at 223 pts about 2.5 years ago when I couldn’t find a Wagner (batting) and I admitted defeat on Shoeless Joe. It’s fun reading back through the years of the thread. I don’t know if I will ever get to the 230 mark (stars would have to align as previously mentioned) but this is a very cool thread and an amazing set. Keep going Kraken Krazies, you are a special species! |
My kraken number has increased to 236 after picking up a few more this last week.
Down to 4 needed - karger - dougherty - wagner batting - george davis |
Nice that you are down to 4 cards. The Wagner is the big one on your list, but the other 3 are sneaky tough as well...good luck!

Great thread and a great set and well deserves the treatment it has received here. Bravo. I don’t currently collect it but felt like I lived the journeys of many through these posts and pics.
Enjoyed all 11 pages. RayB Edited to add I used to own the Cobb but sold a dozen years ago. Shame. |

I seem to be adding a card a year. Now at 217 (118/121).

And Otis, the 217 slot is deservedly yours. Brian |

My only two (didn't see them pictured yet):

Andy and Otis: Congratulations on adding Mitchells to your collections. Those are both very nice looking examples.
Anson: I love the batting pose of Wagner! |

After "completing" the Monster (518) and 3 cards away from finishing my T205 set (missing Gray with Stats, Wilhelm Suffered, and Wagner Boston and passing on the Cycle Mathewson and the rare Holbliztell), I decided to wade into the Kraken pond....
I'm starting with just HOF'ers for now...my number is 11...not sure if I will go for the set, but I said that with the other two as well...lol Great thread!!! JT |
Welcome John...like T206 and T205, E90-1 is another infectious card collecting disease that you might spend several fun years trying to cure. You have made the list, and I expect to see you rise up on it over time.

I know a guy who has that Davis. :) |
1 to go....
Next to last update requested....new number is 243. Only seeking the elusive Mitchell to satisfy the Kraken.

I’ve only got 3, but I love this set! I don’t plan on ever making a run at the entire E90-1, as I have my hands full and wallet emptied by the other monster. However, there are about 10 cards in this set that I absolutely love, Nap and Keeler are next on my list.
Enjoy the weekend, Bob |

A ragged sunset puts me at 220. I need Wagner fielding and Jackson, so I'll probably stay there. Chasing the Kraken has been a lot of fun.

Hi Riggs336, my Miller does not have a splotch of red that a good Miller variant like yours does, so I have decided on a firm policy that states "just the orange sky only Miller is perfectly fine for my collection." And for you, missing only the Jackson and a Wagner, sounds like a perfectly fine place to say "My Kraken is complete."
And John, enjoy the hunting and gathering, no matter how fast or slow the progress. Brian |

For the sake of everyone's health, I suggest that others do the same, and while you are at it, you might also check in with how many T205 EGGS are in your basket (of course on its own separate thread). Brian |
Picked up a couple more....currently sitting at 15!

Re: Kraken
Andy,
I thought you were much further along than that. I've still got a small pile left. Stop and see me in Chicago. Ed |
