Mine can be moved down to 18.

Hi Frank it's been seven weeks since I last posted. I've added the three cards needed to reach my goal of 518! A little about my set:
I display my cards in 20 pocket sheets in a binder. I had to "crack" out 73 cards broken down like this: SGC: ("A" 14 diff) ("10" 23 diff) ("20" 11 diff) ("30" 3 diff) ("35" "40" "55" 1 each) PSA: ("A" 4 diff) ("1" 8 diff) ("1.5" 3 diff) ("2" 3 diff) ("3" 1)
I want to upgrade 40 cards (including 9 HOF) so that should keep me busy for awhile:D
#516 was Bill Dahlen (Brooklyn). I was in California a couple weeks ago when I got a text from one of my fellow OBC members who told me this card had just gone up on eBay. Price was $205 OBO and I didn't even bother to offer I just bought it. Cracked out of a PSA 1 slab.

#517 Cy Young (bare hand shows). I saw this card on eBay (I thought I recognized the seller ID as Net54 member Luke L) and it was just about in my price range. A couple days later, Luke posted it here in BST section with a $50 discount (I think) from the eBay price. I bought it 10 minutes after Luke posted it!

#518 Shag Shaughnessy. Cracked out of a PSA "2" holder this was a part of board member Steve W. collection that was sold on EBay through "Invest In Baseball".

Larry,

CONGRATULATIONS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great Job !!!

I think :rolleyes: I predicted a while ago that Shag would be your last card ..... :)

Although, BEWARE, Mr. Demmitt and O'Hara are lurking behind the next corner. ;)

Fun stuff, Scott

1. Abstein, Bill
2. Alperman, Whitey
3. Armbruster, Herman
4. Ball, Neal

EDIT: make that 12. Bought a Emil Batch while browsing this thread and getting the itch to buy another lol


Thanks!
Joe

Frank --

Please update my Monster number to 402 for my first set, 34 for my second set. Three cards from Luke L that just arrived in the mail put me over the 400 mark. (I thought that another card that arrived the other day from another board member was my 400th, but I had miscounted, and it was only #399.)

This isn't part of my official Monster number tally, but I also have back runs going on four card for which I have at least six different backs each. For the record, they are:

Camnitz arms at sides (6): Piedmont 460/25, SC 460/30, Sovereign 460, Polar Bear, Tolstoi, EPDG

Quinn (6): Piedmont 350, SC 350/25, SC 350/30, American Beauty 350 frame, Broad Leaf 350, Cycle 350

Camnitz arms over head (7): Piedmont 460/25, SC 460/30, SC 460/42 overprint, Sovereign 460, Polar Bear, EPDG, Cycle 460

Wiltse portrait w/cap (8): Piedmont 460/25, Piedmont 460/42, SC 460/30, SC 460/42 overprint, Sovereign 460, Polar Bear, Tolstoi, Lenox (black)

Please bump me to 93

420
 

100 cards to go...:cool:

Added 3 cards. Monster number is now at 25.

Thanks, Andrew

74 but all Cubs. My best 2.

I'm up to 128. My goal for the year is well within reach!

Rich

Dr Frank - I'm at 516 - picked up a Young port the other day. I now just need the other two Young-sters to reach my goal.

Frank,

I'm BACK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I tried T206 Anonymous for a while, but they said I have to admit I have a problem --- That's ridiculous --- I can stop anytime I want, :eek:

Throw me in at 188 (thanks to all the enablers on this board :rolleyes:)

Attachment 222244


Fun, fun, Scott

Scott, you fell off the wagon quicker than anyone in Monster Number history, .................................and by a wide margin I might add.:D:D

Welcome Back!
Larry

We all have a hiccup here and there ! Glad some people on here got you back. 188 woaaaaaaahhhhhh. I'm not sure how that even makes sense ahhahahaha.

WOW! That was quick! It took me about 5 years to get back in after I sold all my t206. Glad your back!

My monster number is now 45. Please update, thanks.

So I guess my number is 2?

I'm at 337. I'm jumping back into T206's this summer to complete my Southern Leaguer collection

"The Rocket To Stardom"
 

As Lenny Bruce said......Please record me at an anemic 75 unique T206.....but I will be consuming more Iron in the future and maybe my low numbers are because of this Vegan thing.

Hi Frank,

Hope all is well.

I picked up the two cards pictured below, which brings my MN up to 87. If you could please update my number accordingly, it would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards,

Eric

Just added McElveen. Please up my number to 26.

Hi Frank,

Sorry to provide another update so soon. However, I am happy to have picked these up at the Philly Show today. My MN is now 91. If you could please update my number accordingly, I would appreciate it.

Best regards,

Eric

New stuff to me, thanks Darrin!!

Love them all, especially the Merkle and Chase.

Picked up 1 more
http://i923.photobucket.com/albums/a...pszjxcewr7.jpg

With 9% of the set completed my MN is 47. Finished my Baltimore subset at the Philly show this weekend with a Doc Atkins pickup. Reaching small goals within the monster, keeps the fire burning. I'm on a 10 year plan, very similar to my undergraduate college days and just as enjoyable!

Goin' in the wrong direction
 

Frank- please take me down to 48 as I sold two more off BST
.
.

Frank haven't updated in awhile, please take me up to 507. Thanks, Bob I.

Picked up Krause. Please increase my monster # to 27.

Thanks, Andrew

Just won a Demmitt, St. Louis variation. When it arrives, it will be
Number 519 for me,

Just acquired a Elmer Flick PSA 1. Please increase my number to 28.

Thanks, Andrew

Frank

Please take my number down another three notches to 45.
.
.

Still at 519, although I have been thinking very hard of going after the O'Hara which would basically complete the set for a person of my resources. I actually haven't any interest in a Magie or Doyle. Not too interested in printing errors.

Francis, please update my magic number to 313 when time suits you.

Sincerely,

Colonel Mustard III

Just added Rucker and Dygert. Please update my monster number to 30.


Thanks, Andrew

Movin' Up In The Pack...
 

Frank, can you bump me up to 77 unique "Monster" cards. Thanks to Tony , on the board's B/S/T! Smooth deals from Long Island!!
Thank You

T206 Monster #
 

Made it too 106 over the weekend. Check out my Sports card album link below with all 106 scans. Thanks Frank!

Not sure how far I'll get towards a second set, but now am keeping duplicates I'm upgrading from my first set.

Please create a set #2 for me with the modest number of 11 when you get a chance. Thanks!

It has been a while since I updated my checklist, but I am off work following my appendix removal, so what better thing to do than figure out just what cards I have? My Monster number is now 182, but the cool thing I found out is that these are the only backs I am missing: Old Mill brown, Lenox brown, Broad Leaf 460, Drum, Blank, Sovereign 460, Sweet Caporal 150 factory 649 overprint, and the debated Ty Cobb. Not too shabby! :)


My goal has always been all the backs other than the Ty Cobb, Old Mill brown, Lenox brown, and BL460, so I am almost there! (only ruling those out as out of my league/price range, so if you want to sell me one out of pity, I would be happy to oblige). :)

Frank,

Since you haven't done it yet, I may as well update to 185! Thanks!

Dr. Frank,

Slow and steady :rolleyes:

Update me to 475.

Thanks, Scott

I am currently at (15) T206 Cards


4 Raw
11 graded
(6) HOFers

But I am just getting warmed up.

Wow; way to go Scott!

I have passed the 70% mark: my number is now 361.

I suspect things will start getting much more interesting soon...

Haven't posted in this thread before, I don't think.

As of Friday, I'm finally at 520.

2 years and 10 months......

;)

Made some progress in the past couple of weeks. Please bump second set to 43 when time allows.

Frank please update my monster # to 100:eek:
I slowed down quite a bit trying to figure out how I want to collect the monster. Still trying to figure that out:confused: I'm sure I have close to 50 doubles. I find it hard not to make a purchase of some of my favorites with a more scarce back. Also can't figure out if I want PSA graded or raw. I will figure it out along the way. Just want to keep a good steady pace. For me it's not a race,want to enjoy the hunt!

Just acquired a Sweet Caporal Addie Joss. My Monster number is now 31.

Thanks, Andrew

Never thought I would get this far but I just picked up O'Hara St. Louis. Should be in hand by Wednesday. That is number 520. Woo Hoo! Now for upgrades.

Wow!!!!!
 

Tom, that is awesome! Congrats!

Newbie
 

I am a newbie to T206, but am picking up a head of steam. My number as of today is 121. Several on the way, so will need to update again. Thanks!

Tom ---- CONGRATS on 520 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :):):)

Eric -- Slow and steady now :rolleyes: --- you can quit anytime you want ;)



Great, Scott

OK, I am up to 20. I have decided to slow down a good bit now that I know what I want to do. Happy Hunting!

slow down?
 

Unfortunately, slow is not really in my vocabulary... the only thing slowing me is funds. :D

Please update me to 16:

Rhoades-Arm Extended. Polar Bear back

Since the thread's been bumped, you might as well update my #2 set to 66 when you have some time - thanks!

Frank - I am selling all my non-HOFers (12) on ebay, so please take my 'Monster Number' down to a measly 33.

Thanks,
Raymond

p.s.- I have a thirteenth for sale on BST, but I never have much luck there - so we can hold off on reducing my total any further.

Hi Frank,

With the following three pickups, I am up to 94. If you could please update my Monster Number accordingly, I would appreciate it.

Best regards,

Eric

Frank...
 

Cardboard anonymous isn't working for me. Ratchet me up to 155 please.

I am not sure I can quit at this point. Several more on the way. Maybe 190 by June?

Frank
 

I am now at 228/520. PROGRESS! ADDICTION!

Please bump set #2 to 98 for me when you find the time!
