Hi Frank,

After a few new acquisitions and a couple of upgrades (shown below) my Monster Number has increased by four to 58. If you could please update my MN, I would appreciate it.

Best regards,

Eric

Joining this site a couple months ago I started enjoying looking at the T206s that other collectors post. So I jumped in and started collecting Detroit Tiger T206s. I purchased a few on this site and made it up to 8 T206s. I mentioned to my brother (who lives out of state) that I started collecting Tigers. He says "Oh, I saw a Boss Schmidt at a local antique store." He picked it up for $15. So, I'm up to 9!

Mountaineer1999 08-14-2014 06:40 PM

Hi Frank... Up to 52! Thanks

arott23 08-14-2014 07:46 PM

Not a very exciting number but I just picked up my first one with hopefully more coming soon!

clydepepper 08-14-2014 07:51 PM

I just broke my promise not to make any large purchases this Month.

Ty Cobb - bat off shoulder - brings me to 26.

I'm a little late to the monster number party but put me down for 20, Frank. Thanks. A few of my favs:

mansco 08-19-2014 08:09 PM

I'm up to 433

the 'stache 08-20-2014 01:46 AM

Frank, if you would please update my number.

I sold Fred Clarke portrait (#92) and Clark Griffith portrait (#195) as I will be upgrading them. That dropped me to 21.

I've added ten new cards:

424. Admiral Schlei, catching
407. Dutch Revelle
379. Jim Pastorius
508. Kaiser Wilhelm, with bat
229. Fred Jacklitsch
257. Johnny Kling
524. Heinie Zimmerman
242. Tim Jordan, portrait
332. Chief Meyers
110. Sam Crawford, throwing

Best of all, only the Revelle and Schlei are graded. The Revelle a PSA 4 with an Old Mill back, and the Schlei a PSA 5 with a Sweet Cap factory 649 overprint. The rest will be arriving in a glorious, unslabbed state. :D

Please update my Monster number to 31.

Thank you!

Alas. My monster number is down to 131.

jimivintage 08-25-2014 09:44 AM

Sadly, my T206 number currently sits at ZERO, so my name must be deleted for now. I really took off on my Topps run from 1951 to 2014 over the last year, so I stopped collecting HOF RCs and T206s. I'll be back though! :)

Wow, you are way ahead of me, Joshua. I still can't believe you found that at a local card shop. I don't think my local card shop has even heard of the T206 set. :(

Conversation with my local shop...

Me: Have any prewar?
Them: Want to join a set break?
Me: Uh no, just looking for T206's
Them: We have an awesome Abreu numbered in foil, blue parallel, in a refractor, with a buy back, from a fresh live case break.
Me: Um...Have any prewar?

mansco 08-30-2014 04:38 PM

You and me both, Matt. The monster has many tentacles, it seems. I'm stuck, too. Congrats on inching closer. Someday we will both get there, though I have a long way to go.

But we'll make it.
