Hi Frank-

Thanks for keeping this train rolling :)

Sincerely, Clayton

Another two down....New Number 243.9....Creepin':D

I picked up
Jim Delehanty (Washington) SC150

Bump my monster number up from 9 to 17! It was a good week! :)

Jimi

Can I have my number added to the list? I am at 45(38 in hand and 7 in the mail). Thanks, Stew

A Piedmont week
 

A slow week on the bay, I went one for infinity. Thankful two board members (thanks Tom, Thanks Ralph) helped pick up the slack. I snagged 3, giving me a new number....246.9

I added

Jap Barbeau P350
Cy Barger P350
Harry Krause (Pitching) P350

:)

Wow!
 

Pretty amazed that in about 5 weeks my EPDG subset went from 25 to 50!

Starting to get a little slower moving up but at 461 now.

Moved over 300, now at 302

Hey, Erick, when you get a chance, would like to see a few!!

Hey Keith
 

They are all available here:
http://www.collectorfocus.com/collection/t206hound/epdg

BTW... all my collections are in my signature...

Great work Erick. I've upgraded a few and keep adding different backs.

Moved up to 222 and hoping to get to the half way point this year.

Bump me up to 72
 

I'm now at 72 I think with the recent acquisition of an Orval Overall portrait.

I've missed so many that present well and I always cuss myself afterwards for letting them slip by. So, I finally decided to stop screwing around and picked up a raw VG/EX one from eBay.

It also knocks 1 more off my Cubs subset.

Nice, very nice Gandil. Like the Powell, too

Keith

Added 25 since my last update in Oct.'12. Now at 428.

A decent week for pickups. I grabbed two from the Bay and two on the BST Thanks Erick). My new number is 250.9

I snagged

Harry Gasper SC350
Ed Konetchy (Glove Near Ground) SC350
John Butler P350
Tubby Spencer SC150

Halfway there
 

I usually don't toot my own horn but I'm proud to recently receive this card. It represents card #259 and puts me at the halfway point toward my goal of a complete 518-card T206 set. My first T206 purchase was in 1994, so it has been a slow climb. If I didn't have so many other vintage card distractions, I'd probably be further along. But I'm having fun with my collection.

Congrats on the half way mark. As a collector of solely SGC 40s, I appreciate the beauty of that Starr... I wish all my forties looked like that!

+1
that is a beauty!

That Starr shines bright ;) congrats :) those corners are spectacular.

Now at 73
 

I'm now at 73 with the pickup of a Moran card from board member Josh Adams. Knocks my Cubs subset want list down by another card too!

513

Frank,

Please raise my MN to 11.

Thanks,

Eric

Monster Update
 

Hi Frank,

I'm up to 143. Thanks for keeping this thread running and enjoy the warm weather!!

Steve

Another two fished outta the bay since my last update. I am up to 252.9

I hooked...

Barney Pelty (Vertical Photo) SC350
George Gibson P150

Hi Frank

Slight adjustment to my Set #1 Monster number. Please put me at 290 total.

Also, after reading the bold print in your initial post, we should probably pull my set #2 off the main list. Its a back specific set and probably should be listed below as a subset.

Thanks

Jantz

I am up to 233.

+ 80
New number : 216

Congratulations on the Magie, Nelson! Your goal for 2013 is accomplished and it's only February 7, what are you going to do for the rest of the year??!! :)

LOL

My next Big purchase will probably be Demmitt and o'hara but probably in 2014

Nelson,
Congrats on the Magie.
It may have taken you ten long months but it took me twenty long years to get one.
Good luck with the rest of the set.
Merrill
