My first attempt at the Monster
When I started originally in 1989, I bought a binder, enough pages to hold all 524 cards (the 15 to a sheet sheets), printed out little place holders for each card (same size as the card, with the number according to Beckett's guide, players name and any distinguishing characteristics), then put the four or five T206s I had in the proper place with all the place holders in all the the other spaces. First goal, one card on each of the pages. Second goal, fill one page completely. Then another page.
First page I completed was the first page in the binder. Made it look like if you opened it up, there must be a complete set.
Second page was the page with Demmitt. Then the O'Hara page. Then the final page, which of course was all southern leaguers.
Think by the time I stopped, I had six complete pages. Each page had at least three cards by that time.
It took 18 years to get that far. But it seemed do-able just a page at a time.
