What's your Monster number?

[Bocabirdman]

From Derek's latest auction, I snagged one more to get my MN up to 498.9. My pace has slowed to a crawl. Here is a bit of unsolicited advice to all of you collectors towards the bottom of Frank's list. Do not do what I did. I banged out all of the Commons, Southern Leaguers and third tier HOF guys first. I am stuck with increasingly Bigger Dawgs from here on out. The card cash cache stays on life support.

The latest purchase:

475. Joe Tinker (Bat On Shoulder) POLAR BEAR

For the past 15 years I have been strictly an autograph collector. I have an autograph of every player who has debuted in major league baseball from 1946 to 2014 other than 4 players who debuted in 2014, who I should get in spring training. Thats 69 years in a row and 10,627 different players.

Well after seeing all the great cards people post on this site, it has turned me in to a vintage card lover. I have decided in 2015 I am going to tackle the monster.

So far this month I have picked up 25, so put me at 25.

Going to try to collect all in SGC slabs, and starting off with the commons.

Looking forward to the challenge and learning more about the history of this set and its players.

Hi Frank,

I picked up two more T206 cards recently, including a Rube Oldring double name.

Please bump my Monster Number up to 71.

Best regards and Happy Holidays,

Eric

I must have been a good boy this year because Santa was good to me and brought me 3 more nicely slabbed specimens pushing my total to 6.


Frank, thanks for your efforts.
