I don’t know when this was, but I assume it was when the Joe Jax was priced better than its ridiculous number now.

While there seems to be at least some mild interest in the set, we haven’t gained a lot of contestants for the Kraken!

Is that tobacco monster really that dominating? (bTW- my t206 monster number is about 20. I have exactly 1 common and some HOFERS)

Thanks, Brian L.

The Joe Jackson was acquired in the 1980's (before the movies Eight Men Out and Field of Dreams were in the theatres). It's price was very reasonable,
since E90-1 cards were not a "hot item" back then.

And, as you know, Joe Jax cards went "bonkers" after these movies were shown in the late 1980's.

Anyhow, I leave to Brianp to decide if my former set qualifies being on his list. I sold the 120-card set to Mike Wheat at the Fort Washington Philly Show.
