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!!!

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

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.

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.
