Frank,

It's a new year, time to start adding cards to the set again. Please bump me up to 125.

teetwoohsix 01-19-2014 01:57 AM

+2 up to 99.....thanks Frank :D

Sincerely, Clayton

Wildfireschulte 01-19-2014 10:59 AM

Frank - please bump me to 410 - picked up 10 new cards and a couple of doubles (accidentally - I really need to learn to check my list before bidding) - not a "four-bagger" among them.

Getting down to the most expensive. If you look back a ways, I was getting 25 or 30 a month. The 4 that I just added took nearly a month. :eek:

cincyredlegs 02-02-2014 07:13 PM

Just added 7. Up to 53.

Hi, Frank.

Please bump me up to 65 when you get a chance. I picked up two more over the past couple of weeks, including this McElveen with a slight color shift that I think is pretty cool:

80, solely attributable to my avatar.

Hi, this seemed like a great spot for the first post. I am new again to the hobby after a (typical?) ~20 year post-teen layoff. Looking forward to working on some subset of the monster, though haven't decided which. I definitely prefer chasing the errors & short prints. First, I need to catch up on some other sets and the icons I couldn't afford on my allowance way back when...

Vintageloz 02-19-2014 09:33 PM

After. Trade with a fellow net54 member and a single ebay pickup, I'm up to 24!

t206hound 02-20-2014 06:58 AM

up another eight
 
You can move me up to 422... thanks!

I Only Smoke 4 the Cards 02-20-2014 07:40 AM

Hey Frank, can you please bump me to 93.

I only picked up 5 in the past two months, but one of them was a big one for me:

bigtrain 02-24-2014 07:17 PM

Slowing down but moved to 436.

chris6net 02-24-2014 09:23 PM

Hit 470 this morning (50 more to go). My collection is all SGC50 or better.

The final 50 is becoming difficult to locate and expensive :)

Every month??? PRN & ASAP is the only way to satisfy this crowd. :D

On a related note, obviously this thread is going to outlive all of us.

Folks climbing the ladder have requested that those near the top remember to downgrade their MN should they sell before their demise. It should also be remembered that a Monster Number is something that you cannot take with you, therefore a codicil to your will is strictly required to transfer custody of your MN to the heir of your choosing. Such heirs should be instructed to apply for Board member status upon your passing and formally request a name change via PM. Your understanding of this request is greatly appreciated.;)
