As impressive as set six is... It only counts as one.

BTW... If you need some raws for sets three and four, I've got roughly 100 available)

[wazoo]

Added two more, now up to 63, with number 64 on its way.

[t206hound]

[Eric72]

I picked up these three Old Mill backs over the past week. A little different than the other seven T206 cards I have, which are all graded VG to EX. Testing the waters to see where my comfort level is regarding condition, I guess.

In any event, my Monster Number is now 10. Thanks for all that you do with this thread.



Best Regards,

Eric

[Bocabirdman]

Congrats Erick. I would be curious to see sub-monster lists for 'advertising backs' sets such as your EPDG.

I'm up to 66 with today's purchase.

Wow!! Talk about a cold streak. It took me almost three weeks to score another. The monster was steadily laughing the whole time. Oh well, it's only one, but one is one, one more than none.

I snagged
Mike Donlin (Seated) P150

for a new number of 205.9

[g_vezina_c55]

[Eric72]

Added this beauty (eye of the beholder...and it does look much less blurry than the scan shows) to my collection through the B/S/T. Monster Number now at 11.

[AMBST95]

As of 12/5/2012 my monster number is 68. Please add me to the list.

[Bocabirdman]

It's only one but the Monster Number jumps up to 206.9

I snagged;

Fred Burchell P350

[bbcard1]

My number is where it will be until my Magie fund gets started (it's at about a tip of a corner at this point) however, I have been feeding and nurturing my monster, replacing the lowest grade cards and passing on the upgraded ones to other members on the board.

[Bridwell]

This is my 1st post in this thread. I have a PSA registry set with 520 different. So 520 points. I started on it in about 1998 when I sent a batch to PSA for grading. Some of the cards I had owned since the 1970's.

Also have about 100 duplicates.

This is a fun thread on net54.

Hey Frank

Can we include T-brand subsets on your list ?

If so, add my SWEET CAPORAL 150 factory #649 (overprint) sub-set, which comprises of 34 cards; and, is complete.





Thanks,

TED Z

[Bocabirdman]

Slow and steady may win the race but it'll drive (OK OK, I know for me it would only take a sand wedge) you crazy in the process. Hey , I did score one..

Leach (Bending Over) Polar Bear....new number.....207.9

[tedzan]

If you accept my last request (Sweet Cap sub-set), then can I also add my AMERICAN BEAUTY 460 sub-set ?

Currently, I have 58 of the 75 subjects required to complete this very rare sub-set.


....



Thanks,

TED Z

[frankbmd]

about Ted's requests. Is a 34 card Monster subset really worthy of a Monster Number or is it some form of Submonster? An accomplishment without doubt but a comparable number to the remainder of the list, I think not. We may be getting into the apples and oranges argument if we continue to add subsets indiscriminately. To date any such variations have been cited as footnotes. I guess, if it were my 34 card subset and it was on a list below Joe Blow's legitimate 35 Monster number that consisted of a stack of beaters, I would be insulted. What percentage of casual viewers take time to read the footnotes anyway? Furthermore if the footnote thing got out of control and more lengthy, I would expect fewer would read them or really care. The subject of back subsets et al was entertained as a possible future consideration in my original post, but has been avoided until recently. I would however encourage members to post such subsets in the thread, but will not dilute the purity of Monster Number list further. A list of references to such posts by post number can be included under the list in Post#1, so that subset enthusiasts can find these unique collections readily.

Hopefully, Ted, you will understand and accept my reasoning here. If you don't, sweetening the pot on our Tinker deal can't hurt.

Frank

I'll try to review the thread to create a list of relevant posts soon.

Frank,

So does that mean you won't count my complete (3 card) Lundgren Chicago subset?

Best Regards and Happy Collecting

[Mikehealer]

Craig, nice Lundgren trifecta. You don't see the P350 everyday.

But Frank....this "Monster" has tentacles....namely, all the silly sub-sets that we can attach to it

Look, this 34-card sub-set (Sweet Cap #649 overprint) is no great accomplishment. But, my American Beauty 460, I consider a "big deal". And, when I complete it,
it is only worth 75 points. Therefore, I will somewhat reluctantly "accept your reasoning" for not adding these "tentacles".

New subject....if I recently broke up one of my "Monsters" and most of it has been sold, do you still accept it ?

If so, I also put together a complete 467-card all SWEET CAPORAL, Factory #30 set (minus Plank & Wagner).

Post #445 will be referenced in Post #1.
I hope it gets a lot of love.
My Lundgren Chicago subset is 1/3 complete.

Ted, c'mon man. It doesn't matter if a centipede has 96 legs or 104 legs, it's still a centipede. A monster is a monster. If you want to start a tentacle thread or an appendage thread, be my guest. I didn't reject the subsets summarily, I merely don't want the monsters commingled with the tentacles. I'm sure the members enjoy seeing them posted here though.
Obviously if you no longer own a tentacle, it should not be posted, and the appendages you do own should be covered at all times.

[Bocabirdman]
