Please bump me to 519. Still looking for a Demmitt STL...

Still working on the all PSA 2 set. That one has moved from 480 to 502. Hoping to have it knocked out this Summer!

Main t206 set still sits at 680.

I'm up to 265 after picking up several OM backs 2 weeks ago. My goal is to be at 300 after The National [emoji3]

121 for me please

Started at 2 in March. Now sitting at 59, so past the 10% mark. I have 12% of the HOF, having picked up a couple decent hits - a Christy Mathewson and a Cy Young. In my mind there are 6 majors - the 4 Cobbs and O'Hara/Demmitt, and I plan to tackle 1 a year. The rest I'll grab a little each month. Several members have been helpful on the BST.

New Number: 42

I think my signature says 43… sold the Bresnahan I got at a show, but did tick off a Huggins and Griffith Portrait recently!

Welcome to the club, John!!! :)

Currently sitting at 112 unique t~206 cards. Lots of doubles, triples, etc. would love to be added to the list!

You're in, second John in two days!! ;)

Update
 

Now at 519 - Just need Cobb bat off - if anyone has one in an A to 2 range that they are looking to sell or trade.

I would like to scan everything in and organize it for my own benefit and I think I have near 200 dupes that I need to sell at this point. Can anyone recommend a good app/website/tool to keep track of scans and/or collections? I would assume there is a good thread on this somewhere, but I haven't run across it yet.

Most of the HoF and SLers are graded - both PSA & SGC with a couple other TPGs (all beckett maybe). Maybe 100ish commons are graded. 100 or so are in binder sheets, with the remainder in t206 sized top-loaders - if that makes a difference.

After the Coll Connection auction (and a few other purchases) I'm now at 258...hope to get to 300 by the end of the year. JT

Got you both!! :)

+ 2 more

total 103

TY

I guess you can update my sets:

(1) 592
(2) 210
(3) 37

Updated Fred and Bruce (thrice). :p

Been a busy bee lately...please update my number to 292!!!

Thank you!

Please adjust my Monster number to 520. My binder project was completed in just short of 365 days. 76% off backs. Thanks to the many Net 54 members that helped me along the way.

Got you both! Congratulations, Bruce, on reaching a major milestone! :)

Think 196

Hey thanks!

520
 

Woohoo!. Here's the card.

And it began...
 

Monster #1: 1/4/1985

38 years, 5 months, and 23 days later it ends...(?)
 

Monster #600: 6/28/2023

Yowza!! Awesome achievements, both of you! :)



Um, Cobb prices seem to have increased a tiny bit in the last 38 years, 5 months, and 23 days. :o

Start
 

My quest began in the 80's too, but I don't have a specific date. The cards were Tinker bat off, Evers Cubs on, and Chance yellow. My Cobb bat off was a little more than $100.

Current total is 600 (2) and 520 (2)

I really wish I invested in cards in the 2000s rather than women and booze.

Please update my monster # to 208.

498. Been here for a while. Struggling to crack the 500 barrier. Thanks for keeping this up.

Sorry I missed the posts on 6/29. I promise to do better. :o

I'm at 30 now after a couple recent pickups. Slow and steady wins the race!

I'm up to 360 now, but going to Philly Show tomorrow and hoping to get a lot closer to 400!!!

Oops. Sorry I missed these two. I'm going to go eat worms. After that, I'll post a spreadsheet for how many worms I've eaten. :o

320 for me, please

I am up to 133/520. Built a good checklist to track percentages: 25% of 520, 28% of HOF cards, 24% of SLers. I have put together my own estimate of the total cost, and I am 21% of the expected cash. As time has passed, I get less and less excited about O’Hara/Demmit St Louis so it may be that I do 518. Anyhow, here are some of the better pickups so far. Thank you to many on this board who have sold me some fairly priced cards.

Just crossed off a bunch after a crazy summer, I am at 504 with some spendy cards in my future! That's the fun part of the hunt!

Hi Bob, my new number is 40!

Set #2 for me (#93 on your list) can be removed. I got it to 520 and decided I didn’t need 2 sets. It’s on its way to a new home now. My 680 is great and better than ever!!

Hey Bob -

Have moved up a bit - Now at 121 Slabbed T206's

Thanks

125 for me, most for a raw binder. 12 slabs for a Boston Red Sox case

Taking a break now! Unsure if I’ll go 520…but I’m young!

Everybody's updated! :)

P.S. Troy, you still have a trambo (3) set on the list with 30 cards. Should I remove that one? Lemme know.

I’m at 519

Thanks for checking. I probably have more than 30 doubles but please remove that one, too! Appreciate you keeping me on the straight and narrow....haha!

That's the sole reason for my existence. ;)

Everybody is (should be) up to date. Let me know if you find another card in your sofa....or the neighbor's sofa (even better).

I'm up to 398 now...excited for the home stretch!

JT

266 for me please.

Hi,

After the Philly Show this past weekend and with the purchase of a bunch of cards right here on our own Net 54 B/S/T site, my new monster number is 458!!! 62 to go!

Thanks for updating. Fun thread

I'm up to 131 with this Philly Show pickup:

Just added O'Hara, St. L. Now at 519, needing only Demmitt St.L for 520.

Go Bob, so close! Saving one of the toughest for last.

My number can be updated to 489.

Just added Demmitt St. L. Made it to 520!! What a ride, loving every minute of it.

Congratulations
 

On "finishing" the monster!

I have 70 of these.

75, portraits only for me.

373. Goal for 2024 is 450 but aspire to 500

List is updated. My sincere apologies for the extended delay. :o

I have consigned my entire set, minus the Wagner and Plank, to Memory Lane. It will be in their Spring Auction. That takes my Monster Number to 160 (down from 1000 at the height).

Monster Number
 

I'm knocking on the door to slaying the Monster. Currently at 502!!!

Need 5 Southern Leaguers: Hickman, Hooker, Otey, Ryan and Violat

Need 2 commons: Cravath and Poland

And...here's the kicker...Green Cobb, O'Hara and Demmitt.

If any of you care to help with the SL's or Cravath or Poland in lower grade, raw or graded, Poor to GD, send me a PM with who you have, price and pic!

Any help would be appreciated.
