E90-1, The Kraken (AKA The E-Monster) - post your collection progress

[tedzan]

Hi Brianp

Thanks for including me on your list with "honorary mention". That's fine, since I don't have the set anymore.

I do not recall if I had Miller sunset in this set. Back in those days (circa 1980's-1990's), the primary concern
was getting guys like Bemis, Clarke (Pitts), Donlin, Duffy, Graham, Karger, Keeler, Lobert, McLean, M.Mitchell,
Shean, Speaker, B.Sweeney, Stahl, Upp, Walsh, etc.

I'll provide you the numbers on my current set later today (or tomorrow).

You can put me down at 4.....but highest graded should get at least another half point!!

Feel free to post scans of your whole E90-1 collection, and I can break out the abacus and figure out your E-Monster number.

Brian

Here is an example of the Kraken Abacus in action. Please view the below scans.

Note that in the top row Cobb is worth 5 E-Monster points, while the Graham and Plank are worth 4 points each. Each card in the second row (Karger, Shean and Joss throwing) are worth 3 points each. The bottom row of Schlitzer, Hartzell and Donovan are worth 1 point. A few quick flips of the wrist on the Kraken Abacus would result in assigning this collection of 9 E90-1 cards 25 E-Monster points. Please note that condition is not relevant, nor are cards missing large portions downgraded (For example Cobb is still worth 5 points despite the fact that in actual cardboard material he would likely be only equivalent to 4 points, and the Karger would still be 3 points instead of 2.25 points).

The next Kraken Abacus calculation can be yours.

Brian,

You may consider the condition of the Cobb irrelevant, but I have never cared for an abdominal gunshot wound victim, who would agree with you.

looks like I'm at 111 (not likely to change )

[edhans]

Please revise me to 187. Picked up four points without adding a card.

[tonyo]

Drop me to 54 Brian....

My gut reaction: I miss that Cobb - but it couldn't be in better hands.

[brianp-beme]

All true, but what Paul fails to mention is that Cobb is the true hero in this story...he took the blunt of the attack for his fellow E90-1 ballplayers, but there was still some collateral damage.

Hi Brian P.

My current set (2nd set) consists of the subjects on display here, and 44 commons. Therefore, if my math is correct, my # is 93.
