Now I'm confused:confused:

Do you mean Moyer and Berra?

Bpm0014 05-22-2017 08:40 AM

Exactly! Moyer and Berra. I miss those days of sending you cryptic monster numbers.... :(

I had 368 raw and 134 slabs....502.....bought 368 slabs (over a year or so)....sold 368 raw.....upgraded 160 slabs (over the last 3 months)...sold or selling 160 slabs......My Monster number remains static..........:eek:

Frank-

I have recently acquired an SGC 20 Ed Walsh, SGC 40 Bresnahan With Bat, SGC 20 Bresnahan Portrait, SGC 30 Bill Dineen, BVG 3.5 Harry Pattee, SGC 30 Jimmy Sheckard no glove, Mike Donlin Seated SGC40 and a Harry McIntyre Brooklyn. The Patte completes my Brooklyn team set.

Could you please bump my MN up to 86?

Thanks, Andrew

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.

Congratulations! I know the feeling of missing a card thought to be owned and waiting on the right Cobb. Only I need a green one! Congrats again.

Beansballcardblog 08-08-2017 06:57 PM

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!

Nice call, that Waddell is one of my favorites. :)

Nice going Chris. Which backs are you missing on your run?

rommesc 08-10-2017 08:10 AM

Thanks
 
Appreciate the kind words guys, thank you!

Sean, PM incoming about Pattee.

frankbmd 08-10-2017 08:18 AM

It's great to see some dialogue on this thread.

It's not just about the Number.

The other one from Aug 16, 2016 you can remove, as I am only working on one set.

Thank you.
