Couldn't wait for a friendly 2000th reply bump :D

48

I am now at 520. I will say it's taken me 30 years, but in reality 2 years ago I had 18 cards.

Of the 520 in my master set, 150 are still raw - average condition fair-good.
Of graded cards, average grade good. I have some as high as PSA 6 and several graded "A". If I have an "A", it's probably a rare back and I would then also have a graded version of the card. I have a Uzit, Several Carolina Brights, AB 460, Piedmont 42, EPDG, Hindu, Cycle (both), Tolstoi, and Sov 460.
I have over 600 total with several back runs - 2 with 6 and 1 with 7. I steadily look to upgrade and then sell excess to fund new purchases.

Thanks to another pleasant transaction with dougscats, monster number now at 49!!!

bump 1 for me 85

I'm up to 16 after these two additions:

After a recent nice purchase, please update my Piedmont to 113 and Polar Bear to 76!

Thanks.

Thanks,

Mark

Chasing the Monster
 

Today I reached 298. All SGC and PSA Graded. I realized that once you get this far along, that you discover that you have cards that you don't even remember purchasing. My goal is 400 by the end of 2018.

LOL. Or you think you have a card but really don't.

monster number.
 

zrickkid is now at 450. Bat on Cobb is next target to complete The Cobb part of the set.

Annual Report - Year 6 less 4 days
 

Your long awaited Annual Monster Report has been completed this year 4 days ahead of schedule.

Thread Views continue to accelerate as they have since the beginning. In the first three years there were 110,000 views and in the last three years there were nearly 300,000. Earlier this month the 400,000 barrier was surpassed. With over 125,000 views in the past year, the thread should reach 500,000 views this year in September or October.

The number of posts and new cards posted continue to decrease however, which is not a surprise. The total number of cards on the list though has also reached the 60,000 milestone with today's update bringing the total to 60,102.

This six year experiment could not have been predicted. Who knows what it proves? Draw your own conclusions and have a

Can you please bump me up to MN 91? Just acquired a nice SGC 20 Joe Tinker Portrait.

You can add me to the list. I'm at 310 currently.

Thanks,

Howdy Frank,
 

....thanks to good B/S/T transactions...please bump me up to 112 from 108.
Thanks Boca Bird Man and CAMB. As Lenny Bruce said "I am on the rocket to stardom!! Now if anybody is unfamiliar with Lenny I hope you will channel your 'Inner Beatnik"

I have Magie but am missing OHara StL and Cobb bar on so bump me to 598 on my quest for 680. Thanks Frank!
Looking for those 2 and a Plank!

Please bump me up to 94. I just acquired 3 new T206s including a Leifield Tolstoi.

Thanks, Andrew

I havent updated in awhile. Im up to 19 with the addition of two more SL cards.

It's been a while of laying dormant. But Please update me to #420 Dr. Frank. Thanks in advance.

It's been a while since I updated, but I've been slow of late. Please bump me to 465.

Picked up a Red Cobb to start the new year at 102.

Add to the list
 

Hey Frank - cool thread idea.

I've been at it a while, but do I presently have a "680 set". Most of it is up on the registry under my same name, still have 10 cards or so to crossover or get slabbed.

Thanks!

Frank-

Could you please bump me up to 95? I just acquired a nice Piedmont 350 Bender Portrait BVG 2.5.

Thanks, Andrew

Bumping to first page in honor of POWELL's T206 Wall.



.

I got this back to get me to 5...

Steven,

Wow!!, nice looking Green Cobb!

What are the other 4 cards?

Thanks Jason...here they are.

Its good to a dup sometimes...

Wow Steve! Those are great I guess, if you like that sort of thing! :D

awesome pick up! I don't think dups count in the monster number, but nonetheless a great pickup!

Added a bunch. 355 now.

Please adjust me down from 520 to 54. I sold most of it as it was too cumbersome. Would rather concentrate on less volume and better quality.
Thanks
Rich

Frank-

Could you please bump me up to 96? I just acquired a Cy Seymour Polar Bear Throwing.

Thanks, Andrew

Just hit #310. 3 1/2 year endeavor. Trying for a graded 5 average has been costly and both challenging and rewarding.

My Monster Number is a meager 17. Here are a handful. Once I get a current project or two finished off I'm going to work on this.

monster update
 

461 is my new total. Looking for bat on Cobb to complete Cobb poses.

Frank - seems I'm always going in the wrong direction.

Perhaps, some day that will change, but, for now...I'm letting my 2 Rubes go on EBAY this week, so please drop me down to a hard 9:

(3) Cobbs; (2) Mattys; (2) Walters; one Cyclone and the honorable J. Ross Helms (because he played here that year).

Thanks

Frank-

Could you please bump me up to 97? I just acquired my first Southern League card (Charles Seitz Piedmont 350 PSA 2).

Thanks, Andrew

Hi, Frank.

I resumed my pursuit and picked up four more T206 cards today, including this slightly misprinted Hooks Wiltse. Please adjust my Monster Number to 99.

Best regards,

Eric

For those who may have an interest, here are the other three cards I picked up today:

Jumping in...
 

Frank--

Please put me in with 118 to start. Just picked up an additional 7 commons to reach that number.

I can feel the call of the Monster lately... I think it's going to be a busy few years working on this with some more focus.

Would like to put together a really nicely-centered set/near-set in PSA 4-5, with some SGC sprinkled in liberally. Have most of the HOF'ers, but plenty more to do...

Here are a few favorite images from my stash:

Nice cards.

Frank-

Could you please bump me up to a monster milestone number of 100? I just acquired some nice cards; Jack Quinn SGC 40, Ginger Beaumont PSA 3 and Hal Chase Dark Cap GAI 2.

Thanks, Andrew

Please update my number to 339
 

Picked up a few this past week. Thanks!

Frank, I have declined to add my collection to this thread until now.
I have 87 unique T206's. All are graded, either PSA or SGC. I have 4 that are graded less than excellent (5 or 60) and 4 graded near mint.
None of my cards count for more than 1 point.
So, I'm thinking my MN is 87.
Thanks for heading this up!

I've picked up two more (and not have all three) Scoops Carey, but only one of them counts...boo!

I picked this one up on Black Friday, and it bumps me to 21 unique fronts.

Black Friday at the LCS

Frank - I picked up Bliss from BST today.

Please update my number to 12.
