Currently, I'm at 411 different T206's.

This will be my 3rd set on your list....so, sign me up.


Thanks,

While you are adjusting the numbers, I did just reach 100. Seems like it has slowed down this summer, but 100 different since Oct. of 2012 is more than I thought I would have.

[Eric72]

Hi, Frank.

Please bump my Monster number up to 23.

Thanks and best regards,

Eric

A late eBay pick-up gives me three more for the week. New MN is 357.9

55a. George Brown (Browne) (Chicago) P150
196. Bill Hallman P350
463. Bill Sweeney (Boston) SC350

[the 'stache]

A whopping 2 points thus far, as I just got my first two T206 cards today.

I am sure years from now I will chuckle recollecting when the Monster first bit me, and cringe thinking about how much money it cost me.

My thanks to Doug (piedmont150) for the first two of what will be many over time.

[bigtrain]

Up to 351

[Bocabirdman]

I managed to snag 3 before going out of town...New MN 360.9......Hot Damn!

As pointed out to me by Frank, my numbers were a bit off

I'm actually at 508 now.

Other than the Big-4 and O'Hara, I need 11 Southern Leaguers (collecting the SLers with Old Mill backs).

I have to give a shout-out to RunScott, as he sold me 7 SLers and a G Browne (Washington) at the National. I also picked up a Demmitt SL at the Show.

Hello, Frank. Picked up a few since my last update, mostly commons and a nice Cy Young, would post a pic but my scanner is lacking.

Sitting at 456.

Best Regards,

Eric

Now 133 thanks to the BST.

The EPDGs have gotten too rich for me, so you can remove my second set as the cards have been consigned.

[wazoo]

How does this work if you're doing a back run for one single card? I have 6 Admiral Schlei catching now.

Well, I guess I cannot complain about this week. Between the BST and the Bay, I picked up nine Monster Bits. I need only 5 Commons to knock out that segment of the set. Things will start getting more expensive from here on out, as if it hasn't been so far. According to my spreadsheet, I have spent $9270 to get this far. My updated MN is 389.9.

The latest nine:

484. Heinie Wagner (Bat On Left Shoulder) P150
320. George McQuillan (With Bat) P350
456. George Stovall (Batting) SC350-460
420. Wildfire Schulte (Front View) P150
294. Rube Marquard (Hands At Thighs) SC150
117. George Davis (Chicago) SC150
324. Chief Meyers PB
333. Herbie Moran (Providence) P350
205. Buck Herzog (New York) SC350

[wolf441]

Hi Frank,

Can you please update me to 232 when you have a chance?

Thanks,

Steve

[kengoldin]

1st entry for the Paul Goldin t206 monster number, put in at 250. Have been on a spending spree, so this is going to be drifting upward. Will update when all. My boxes are in and opened

[SushiX37]

It was a slow summer, but I pushed up to 74. Please update my number. I hope to break 100 by the end of the year.

Rich

[deadballfreaK]

Back up to 519. I would like to get the O'Hara and finish the set minus the big 4, but doesn't seem likely without parting with a card or two I really like.

[Bocabirdman]

I was off from work and spent way to much time chasing the Monster. I grabbed 17 with a couple HOF and 10 Southern Leaguers. One BST helped clean up the Commons. I then got the bright idea to do a second BST for the SL-ers. MY new MN is 406.9...

The LIST:

189. Clark Griffith (Batting) SC350
133. Red Dooin P350
132. Wild Bill Donovan (Throwing) P350
281. Paddy Livingstone (Livingston) P350
22. Jack Bastian P350
175. Charlie Fritz P350
49. Roy Brashear P350
45. Bill Bradley (Portrait) SC150
361. Al Orth P350
277. Harry Lentz (Sentz) OM

206. Gordon Hickman P350
280. Perry Lipe 350
226. Hughie Jennings (One Hand Showing) PB
198. Bill Hart (Little Rock) OM
215. Ernie Howard (Savannah) OM

[Seattle799]

148!

[donmuth]

With the 8 card lot from Zach S. on the B/S/T I am now up to 80 (one was a dupe).

[Bocabirdman]

A bit of a difference between last week and this one, I only grabbed three. I guess moving into the Southern League segment of the Monster will slow things down..... My new MN is 409.9

The trio:
441. Sid Smith (Atlanta) P350
491. James Westlake OM
304. Pat McCauley OM

[wolf441]

Hi Frank,

Can you please bump me up to 258 when you have a chance?

Thanks,

Steve

[CardTarget]

I've been collecting blindly for about 5-6 years now just picking up cards when I liked them. Pulled them out yesterday to count. I have 112. It will take me 20+ years at this rate but I recognize the slow process. Maybe in another year I'll actually inventory them so I know what I have.

[bigtrain]

369

[Seattle799]

Please bump me to 150!

[the 'stache]

Frank, I have a Bill Malarkey incoming (thank you, Jason (t206blogcom), so please update my monster number to a slightly less puny 5.

[martingale]

Please update my monster number to 111 - thank you

[Eric72]

Frank,

Thanks for all of your work with this thread. It is greatly appreciated.

Please bump my Monster number up to 33.

Best Regards,

Eric
