Hi, Frank.

With these additions, I'm finally up to 100. :)

Congrats, Bill! Awesome work!!

I picked up #520 about 2 weeks ago (Ray Ryan for some reason!!).

Steve D 01-03-2020 06:24 PM

Congratulations Bill & Troy!

Picked up Magie to hit 521.
That's it for me. I'm done for good. Forty-five years of my life. No more T206 in my future. Enough is enough.
Unless I decide to start upgrading.

Are you saying you just got the Magie error?

If so, and you were at 520, this puts you at 600 (the Magie is worth 80 Monster Points).

Big-Time Congratulations on that!!!!

And big congrats to my fellow Buckeye state collector Troy on hitting 520!

I had a diversion--bought a new Orioles collection, the T205s, and bought a bunch of 1955 and 1956 for those set projects. I'm focused on T206 again--would like to finish this year. 520 in 2020 is my new motto. :) thanks

JoeC1991 01-13-2020 06:43 AM

Relatively new here. 41 and counting.

Troy do you attend the Hilliard Ohio shows. Always a pleasure meeting other collectors and members.

I’m up to 18 HOF cards as I’m working on that subset.

518 and Shrinking
 
I made it to 518 before "The Great College Sell-Off" began.

I had everything SGC graded (low grade) except the Demmitt and O'Hara (and the Big Four).

It was a fun ride, but I'm also enjoying watching her college fund (slowly) grow.

And you can always do it again later after college if you want. :)

I went to the Philly show today and picked up a couple T206 cards. My Monster Number is now up to 103.

mullinsm 03-09-2020 07:46 PM

With McQuillan, ball in hand, I've made it to 400.

My progress is slowing. I feel like I have all the easy and inexpensive cards. I'll keep on it like Johnny Cash...

unamuzd1 03-10-2020 03:01 PM

Please update me to 512. REA got me the last two SL players I needed. Only eight to go...

drmondobueno 04-05-2020 01:42 PM

Frank! Hello from the better half of California -
 
the Eastern half! So...here I go again on a second time around!

Set one up to 131

Hey Frank- I sold 3 cards in December and 3 cards this week. Please drop me done to '9'.


Thanks,

Closing in on 3 months of no updating from Frank. Frank, are you out there? Please do not update my monster #, as I have not had any additions in the last few years.

Brian

brianp-beme 05-10-2020 10:32 AM

Its time in quarantine is over. Frankly and thankfully, the Monster numbers have been updated by our Frank and Stein. Now it's time to release the Kraken!

Brian (E90-1 Ringmaster)

trambo 05-10-2020 12:54 PM

Lots of upgrading! Still at 520 and working on more upgrades!!

I used to be wvu class of 2001, but now go by this ID. If you’d like to remove my old one, feel free. It’s really just me, twice.

Hi, Frank.

Hope this finds you well. I've picked up two more, bringing my MN up to 105. Please update my number when you have a moment.

Not counting my SGC Tigers collection, 239 in my recent foray into T206's

Rhotchkiss 07-15-2020 10:40 AM

I have followed this thread for years, but have never posted to it, mostly because I never thought I would pursue a set. Well, as luck would have it, I now have a 524-card complete set, which means my Monster Number is 1000. And, since I purchased my Wagner and Doyle from Powell, I suppose his number should be updated as well - I am almost positive he has all the others.

Thanks,

Ryan

brianp-beme 07-15-2020 10:50 AM

The previous post requires IMMEDIATE Frank attention...the fastest 0 to 1000 in Monster history! Congrats Ryan on your T206 cardboard.

Brian

ZiggerZagger 07-17-2020 03:35 PM

Please update to #519. It's close...

107 and counting. Feels good to have caught the T206 bug again.

skelly423 07-23-2020 01:07 PM

I've dipped a toe in the water, and am up to 1.

rootsearcher60 07-24-2020 06:13 PM

Started the monster quest in November and just hit my year goal of 300. Guess I'll have to make a new goal.

Michael

donmuth 07-25-2020 05:25 PM

Oh so slowly...
 
I'm taking the opposite approach of Michael above. I've been collecting T206's for 30 years now and my first set's Monster Number is now at 89 with the addition of a Jennings two hands with Polar Bear back from Leon.


I guess I can claim a second set based on my dupes which would be at MN=3.



Thanks!
Donny

Hmmm. Not much activity in this thread. Not many MN list updates. Even the monumental deal that saw a different collector take over the coveted 1,000 point #1 top spot hasn't been recorded here.

I sincerely hope Frank is OK.

As for my personal Monster Number, it's up to 110. I picked up two more HOFers, continuing my recent trend of quality over quantity.

Eric72 08-22-2020 01:39 PM

Up to 111 with a recent BST purchase. I especially like the extremely off-centered back.

Notes on the Update
 
Nearly 4 months since the last update.

There may be duplicate member updates on the list.

Finding your prior entry is more difficult as the list gets longer.

I try to update your prior line and then sort to order the list before posting.

If you find yourself on the list twice, shoot me a PM.

I did sell 121 cards of my set to purchase a new car, my card car. i didn't want to crack my nest egg.:eek:

Eric72 09-10-2020 08:44 PM

Hi, Frank.

It is great to see you once again posting within this thread. Hope you're enjoying the card car. :)

I've picked up this Lena Blackburne in SGC 50/4, bringing my Monster Number up to 112. When you get a chance, please update my number.

Hope all is well.

Best regards,

Eric

My 400th T206 card. Not bad since I didn't get my first until Nov. 29, 2019.

Up to 113 with this recent purchase.

I doubt George McQuillan imagined it at the time; however, he was playing for a team wouldn't win their first world championship until 97 years into their history. The Phillies would capture the NL Pennant in 1915, though. They won another pennant in 1950, too...so the team's first near-century wasn't all bad.

Hi all - I'm at 156. Looking forward to checking out the boards.

unamuzd1 10-16-2020 09:23 AM

Bump me to 517 and holding... team variations, thou art my bane!

...need Lundgren Chi, and Demmitt/O'Hara St. L., if anyone is feeling magnanimous... low grade is perfectly fine/preferred!

HerbieMoran 10-17-2020 05:34 PM

Please update me to 468. Plodding along.

I am now at MN = 95 on my first set (and MN = 3 on my second set) thanks to several recent acquisitions, mostly on the B/S/T here.


Thanks!

Add 2 to mine with my first transaction here (Ed Summers) and a pretty beat up Cy Young. (I think I might want you guys to check the card out, having a bit of buyers remorse.)

Good job. I was able to do the same for our son by selling cards, but not having to sell any t206s.

New poster on this thread. Monster number = 66

Bought my first 12 between 2002-06 then didn't buy again until 2020.
7 HOF so far.



Edit: now MN = 75 with 9 HOF and 79 total (1 card triple / 2 cards double) picked up the Waddell and Johnson portraits.
