Frank - please bump me to 410 - picked up 10 new cards and a couple of doubles (accidentally - I really need to learn to check my list before bidding) - not a "four-bagger" among them.

Getting down to the most expensive. If you look back a ways, I was getting 25 or 30 a month. The 4 that I just added took nearly a month.

[cincyredlegs]

Just added 7. Up to 53.

Hi, Frank.

Please bump me up to 65 when you get a chance. I picked up two more over the past couple of weeks, including this McElveen with a slight color shift that I think is pretty cool:

80, solely attributable to my avatar.

Hi, this seemed like a great spot for the first post. I am new again to the hobby after a (typical?) ~20 year post-teen layoff. Looking forward to working on some subset of the monster, though haven't decided which. I definitely prefer chasing the errors & short prints. First, I need to catch up on some other sets and the icons I couldn't afford on my allowance way back when...

[Vintageloz]

After. Trade with a fellow net54 member and a single ebay pickup, I'm up to 24!

[t206hound]

You can move me up to 422... thanks!

[I Only Smoke 4 the Cards]

Up to 99

Hey Frank, can you please bump me to 93.

I only picked up 5 in the past two months, but one of them was a big one for me:

[bigtrain]

Slowing down but moved to 436.

[chris6net]

[SushiX37]

Up to 83. My goal is to be over 100 by the summer.

Rich

[Bocabirdman]

And it continues...3 more of the tougher remaining bunch.....I grabbed:

436. Carlos Smith (Shreveport) P350
287b. Sherry Magee (portrait) P350
15. Home Run Baker SC460

That gives me a new Monster Number of 468.9....Hot Diggity

[Vintageismygame]

Every month??? PRN & ASAP is the only way to satisfy this crowd.

On a related note, obviously this thread is going to outlive all of us.

Folks climbing the ladder have requested that those near the top remember to downgrade their MN should they sell before their demise. It should also be remembered that a Monster Number is something that you cannot take with you, therefore a codicil to your will is strictly required to transfer custody of your MN to the heir of your choosing. Such heirs should be instructed to apply for Board member status upon your passing and formally request a name change via PM. Your understanding of this request is greatly appreciated.
