Thanks Guys!
Getting to 520 cards in T206 took me just over 10 years (I started with a Cobb red background in Aug '03). I'm not sure what I'm going to do next set-wise. I have been going after Old Judge HOFers the last 4 years (I have 8 of the 27 different HOFers), so I know I'll be continuing that goal. Steve |

I feel like I am chopping down a redwood with a nail file but I have grabbed two more Monster bits....New MN is 434.9

I'm new to the site, but this post has renewed my interest in T206's. So time to break out the shoe boxes, separate the doubles and count some cards. What is the best source for a current checklist? Wikipedia and T206 museum sites list 514 and Lipset Volume 3 has 523 cards listed.
|
#828
|
||||
|
||||
As dis-interested in t206 as I am...even I am curious to find out what you have in those shoeboxes wildfire!!!!
518 is considered complete by some not including demmit, o'hara st louis variations. 520 will include them and is complete to many. 524 is the way to go and will include wagner, doyle ny nat'l, magie error and plank! Last edited by ullmandds; 11-23-2013 at 07:39 AM. |

How to get from 514 to 524
Some of the 514 checklists include a and b variations for cards with basically the same front image but with different teams or captions. They are
Doyle NY & Doyle NY NATL Magee Portrait & Magie Port Demmitt NY & SL O'Hara NY & SL F Smith White Cap Chi & (Chi & Bos) Lundgren KC & Chi Kleinow Catching NY & Bos Elberfeld Port NY & Wash G Brown(e) Was & Chi Dahlen Bos & Bro Peter's explanation of 518 and 520 are of course correct.

Right, Waz...I'm just trying to be kinder...and gentler!!!

#833
|

|

So Lipset's list with 523 is only missing one card - seems to include all of the variations Frank listed, but I may be off a Smith. First time through, I'm at 304 but haven't found my Cubs box yet.

Frank,
This is my first post to the "Monster Number" thread. I bought my first T206 on 2/21/2013 and received my latest one on Saturday. My total is now 75. This is probably my best one:

Not any more
Technically correct because my spreadsheets were backed up when my computer died, but the last remaining building on the grounds where the infamous Mustang Ranch brothel once stood went up in flames Sunday, March 26, 2007 and no, I wasn't there.

Picked up a Matty White Cap this evening. That makes 518! Began this quest in March 2012 and had no idea how consuming the monster can be!
P S. On the very same day Wazoo hit post #1000! A day to remember
