Separate note. The Wild Bill Donovan (throwing) may be the most beautiful card I have ever seen, certainly that I own. The colors are so striking and warm. Just magnificent.

I am at 210, with more to come soon, I hope. I seem to have piled up a few duplicates too. Would love to maybe trade some of these at some point.

Hi Frank....
 
...when you are in here and have time please bump me up from 88 to 90 monster individuals. Thank you for the time you put into this thread !!

Could you please bump me from 48 to 50. I just acquired a Doc White pitching and an Irving Young.

Frank - a couple of months ago I decided to change my collection focus to just a few of my favorites, namely anything Cobb and cool old Cubs stuff - a continuation of my downsizing effort. Condo living isn't very compatible with large boxes of cards. As a result, I sold the bulk of my T206 collection in the recent LOTG auction. I almost reached the top of the mountain at 516, but now my MN is now officially down to 88 - mainly "Cobbs and Cubs".

DeanH3 11-29-2016 04:45 PM

Hi Frank,

Thought I'd contribute my small number to the pot.

Total of 17 or 18 if you count type 1 coupons. :D

14 graded and 3 raw.

njdunkin1 11-30-2016 03:39 PM

Mr. Frank,

Please bump my total to 17, with two recent additions coming to my collection in the form of a Chief Meyers Tolstoi and my first Johnny Kling for my back run.

Gracias!

brianp-beme 11-30-2016 07:56 PM

Frankly, the B wants his number pumped up to 505. Just a decade more to get the dozen I need to reach my goal, which B 518.

KMayUSA6060 12-08-2016 07:12 PM

Frank -

I would like to add my name to the ever-so prestigious Monster Number list.

Currently, my number is 12. The goal is at least 520.

Thank you very much!

- Kyle

unamuzd1 12-12-2016 04:22 PM

Frank - I'm trying to only update with big bumps and milestones, and I think 450 (including 29 back stamps) is a milestone. So if you could update me to 450, I'd appreciate it.

iowadoc77 12-13-2016 07:58 AM

I'll joint the list ...
 
I'm at 57. Started by collecting 1 card of each HOF member excluding the big 2 (so 36/38) and am slowly adding from there.

edit: I'll JOIN the list. No joints involved ...

Jersey City Giants 12-14-2016 07:28 AM

Den*nis O*Brien 12-20-2016 02:09 PM

Five Years - Two Days
 
Here is the much awaited five year report.

Views this year 92,729, up from 74,610 last year

4,133 cards added, which is down from over 7,000 in each of the preceding three years. Posts are down as well to .706/day.

In brief, the accumulation numbers continue to decline despite the continual growth in views/day for 5 years (75:93:133:204:253).

A BIG THANKS to Jon P. for a very nice deal on Mr. O'Hara !!!!

Not sure the significance of the "12" on cap, but I like it :p

Sold "set 1" about a year ago, so "set 2" took about a year. :o

Great fun !!!!! Now up to 80%+ cards with backs between Polar Bear and Pied.42 (70%+ HOFs). ;)

Fun Stuff, Scott :rolleyes:

Hi Frank.....

Eight sharp corners are not often seen on the eight sided cards.;)

Rich Falvo 02-26-2017 10:07 AM

I'm stuck on eight as I try for different backs of the Providence players. Maybe I should get two more cards so I can report a double-digit number. :)

BBT206 02-26-2017 10:15 AM

Frank,

Would you please update my number to 513? Thanks, Bill

I may change my approach, but for now.....nice eye appeal on low grade cards trumps other concerns. The 3 Finger hits that perfectly!

Piratedogcardshows 02-26-2017 08:43 PM

Ill update mine while the thread is at the top. Im up to 17 T206 now all SL. Thank you Frank.

Could you please bump me to 57? I just acquired Elberfeld and a really beat up Evers portrait.

Thanks, Andrew

Up to 26, my friend.

Thanks!

KMayUSA6060 02-28-2017 04:36 PM

Frank,

28, and it'll stay at that number for about a month at least. Time to refocus on closing on the house/moving in.

Thanks!

75%
 
Frank,

Please adjust my total to 386. I have reached the 75% milestone. But I'm about out of cheap and easy cards, so my progress is going to slow considerably. Nonetheless, onwards and upwards.

argpdt 03-01-2017 11:11 AM

Frank-

Just acquired Willett, Lumley, Hummel, Wilhelm (with Bat), Marquard (Portrait) and Vic Willis batting. Could you please bump me up to 63?

Thanks, Andrew

Joshchisox08 03-01-2017 12:19 PM

Please bump me to 401 Francis Pfeiffer

And just for $hit@ and giggles 4 for set number 2 (4 unique back Sullivan's and 2 unique Bob Grooms)

Hi, Frank.

I picked this up at the Philly Show yesterday. Please bump my Monster Number up to 95.

Hope all is well.

Best regards,

Beansballcardblog 03-10-2017 08:35 PM

I thought that I had started on this thread a few months ago, but it looks like I didn't. Oops!

Could you please enter my number as 5?

None of my cards are overly impressive, but I have caught the bug. I'm an analytical and competitive person, so this thread is right down my alley.

If you're interested just to see my singles, you can find them here.

Happy collecting, everyone!

scotty21690 03-11-2017 07:56 AM

Put me in coach...
 
I guess you can add me to the list, I'm at 10 right now, and might not ever get past 13...but you never know. ;)

I'm not sure what's more impressive, Kin.....that two of your first five cards are of the same player; that one of your first five cards are a fairly tough SP (nice Kleinow btw); or that none of your first five cards have a Piedmont back!

Best of luck on the monster! :D

rommesc 03-15-2017 07:07 PM

Hi Frank,

Please update my MN to 517. :)

brianp-beme 03-15-2017 09:08 PM

Frank, please bumpitate my MN (Monsta Number) to 510, after a relatively blurred flurry of acquisitions and questionably accurate recounts. Next stop, Mel Ott.
