Any Walsh is a good Walsh...

The monster achievement by Ryan on the Monster thread inspired me to post a Kraken card on this thread so that folks who have been crackin' away on the set would post. Inquiring minds, such as Summers here, want to know your Kraken number.

Hopefully this collaboration thread , sharing your progress on collecting the greatest Caramel set will be inspired by the official announcement of the Seattle NHL franchise.
They will be known as The Kraken.

And we helped, I'm sure of it!

Thanks Brian for pointing out this great E90-1 news! I started this thread in November of 2017, and the 2018 Post It note, as mentioned in this article

https://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/...-became-kraken

makes if fairly clear that the world/Seattle/hockey nuts were following this thread.

Brian (they should have called the team the E-Monsters)

Some of these so called commons are near impossible to find

Below is a list of the 1 point tougher commons/more popular Hof'ers that I believe could have been identified as 2 point cards, based upon their scarcity and popularity.

The list was culled from this post about E90-1 perceived scarcities over the years in another thread:

2 Frank Baker
2 Harry Bemis
2 Mordecai Brown
2 Wally Clement
2 Eddie Collins
2 Sam Crawford
2 George Davis

The above was from post 316 on this thread. So Jon's two E90-1 cards (not a bad two-only card combo) would qualify under this revolutionary revision scheme for 3 Kraken points, but alas the official tally shall instead be 2. I think you should start thinking about which card to add to make it an E-Monster trio.
