Please increase my MN to 519. Still need Cobb Red Portrait. Find it interesting that I need arguably the most common T206 card to complete my set of 520.

Targeting the Cobb Red Portrait with Polar Bear back in lower condition.

mybuddyinc 04-30-2017 01:40 PM

Chris,

519 that's GREAT !!!!!

To finish with a PB Cobb would very cool, indeed ;)

Fun stuff, Scott :rolleyes:

Bpm0014 05-22-2017 07:19 AM

Frank I will no longer include puzzles/riddles with my monster number haha (although I had way more fun doing it that way). So please simply update it to 508.

My monster # is 137

unamuzd1 06-04-2017 02:56 PM

Please update me to 457. It's slow progress at this stage, because a lot of what's left is kind of expensive. Like, you know - 3 Cobbs...

Got this one in the mail yesterday. It wasn't actually a new front for me, but at least it wasn't a back I had with him, and I like the color shift.

My number is now 1. I just won a Rube Waddell throwing that was in this month's PWCC auction.

I've been wanting that card for years, I'm fascinated by Waddell as a player and really love the pose on the card.

My number will probably stay at 1 for a while, I don't have the budget to move it much higher!
