What's Your Monster Number?
 
This thread is for T206 collectors. Your Monster Number is the number of unique cards you own out of the set of 524 with the following rules:

240 points for Honus Wagner
80 points each for Plank, Magie, and Doyle (NY NAT'L)
1 point each for everyone else

The highest Monster Number is therefore 1000.

A few notes:

Duplicate copies don’t increase your Monster Number, although you’re welcome to post additional sets. For example, if someone has 5 Ty Cobb T206 cards, two red portraits and one each of the others, they have a Monster Number of 4. Their second set has a MN of 1.

For purposes of this thread, backs don’t matter. Sweet Caporal counts just the same as Drum. We’re only focused on the fronts here.

If you’d like to take part in the fun, just post your Monster Number in this thread. We’re going by the honor system here; it’s not necessary to “prove” you’re telling the truth. However, if you’re lying about it - and the board finds out - we’re likely to ridicule you in perpetuity. Net54 never forgets.

One last thing: posting pictures of your T206 cards is highly encouraged. From high-grade slabbed copies to raw cards missing several pieces…all T206 are welcome here.

It wasn't being maintained. The last update was about a year ago. We discussed it a bit there. I separately chatted with Leon, Bob, and Frank. A new thread seemed the best way to go. I'll maintain it, moving forward.

BRoberts 03-13-2025 02:58 PM

Can there at least be a discussion?

Please, please, please!!!!

Thanks for the post, Eric. I've done some downsizing and my monster number is now 13.

Thread updated, based on the info I had available. I look forward to everyone's discussions, numeric updates, and pictures. Speaking of which, here's my (current) favorite T206. I picked it up late last year. :)

Thanks Eric for being willing to do the heavy lifting and placing the Monster thread upon your shoulders. I think we have a Monster caretaker for the long haul.

It is interesting to see that we have almost 100 entries with Monster Numbers of 500 or more. Dang, T206 cards are PLENTIFUL!

Nice to see this revived, Eric. I'm at 507.

In about a years time i added 13 more .
I now sit at 316 and probably stay there for some time. It’s not easy being greasy. Good luck to everyone on the quest.
Thanks Eric for your time and for keeping it going !

More points for HOFers and certain players?
 
Shouldn't you get more points for players like Cobb,Young, and maybe a couple other players? Then more than just 1 point for other HOFers?

This thread was created by another member (hi Frank) almost 15 years ago, and its creator established the Monster values as seen, so these values will likely remain.

If you want to see something where the card values are based a little more on desirability/popularity, then check out these two threads on other vintage (E90-1 and T205) sets.

What you wrote makes sense on a certain level. However, I decided to maintain the point system put in place by the thread's originator.

I don't blame him, either. Keeping things relatively simple makes things easier for the person tracking all this.

New Entry For Set #2 - my Monster Number is 514 (No Cobbs or Demmitt & O'Hara). A picture of Set one is below - I believe it has everything except my Cobb bat off, which was the last card I added.

I fell in love with the T206 set back when I was a kid at a card show and saw one in person for the first time over thirty years ago. My monster number is 11 and slowly climbing. I am always looking to pick up clean PSA copies if anybody is looking to sell.

Since re-launching this thread, I’ve been scanning the BST to find an Old Mill Southern Leaguer. Even though I had 14 different backs in my T206 collection, there were no OMSL…until this arrived today.

MN up to 134. :)

That is a pretty nice 3. Congrats. I just started the southern set.

I have a monster number that is going down, whatever that number is. I am too much of a type collector to have too many, of a common set, in my collection.

One I am keeping longterm... (for now LOL)

Even a Monster Number of one puts you ahead of roughly 8.2 billion people.

I added you to the list. :) Let me know if you'd like the number bumped up.

At first, I was impressed. You went straight to the top ten with your first post.

Then, I took a look at the set and I was blown away. Simply amazing!

Welcome to fray. You certainly made a splash.

Sir, and I use the term loosely, I did the heavy lifting for more than 10 years and my shoulders needed a break. Your welcome. And to your second point monster numbers tend to go up rather than down.

Sir, and unlike you I use the term tightly, I realize that you did Monstrously heavy lifting during your long reign. You kept a tidy ship and handled your responsibilities with diligence and the grace required in being the steward of your brainchild. Your successor gave up within a few months, which in contrast just points out that your efforts were not unappreciated, at least to me. Eric seems to be a worthy replacement as our Monster Caretaker.

Frank, you should take those shoulders to a massage parlor and get the happy ending you deserve.

New to the Monster. I had the Reds team set for awhile and decided to focus my collecting on a few favorites (Bernie Kosar, Al Oliver, anything Cleveland Browns) and one big item. So at the young age of 50 I decided to give t206 a go. 6 months later and 84 cards in, I couldn’t be happier. I only wish I started a long time ago.

A big thanks to all the members of this board too. I’ve purchased several cards here and love the information shared here daily.

Do you have two sets (a 518 and a 174) and therefore two Monster Numbers?

My number is 396…….hoping to hit the 400 mark soon. On the photo of my graded T206’s ,I inadvertently put in 2 that don’t belong, as that is where they are kept, so disregard the Strip card of Harry Hooper and the E-90 of Hal Chase. The rest of the boys are in an album organized by team.
What a GREAT hobby this is and that goes for the forum as well.
