It looks like it is possibly another Groom. Here is my adjacent pair, thanks to the tipsy printerman that worked on the Thomas card.

Hey Brian,

I was thinking it might be another Groom as well.

reviving this as I just got a Duffy off eBay at a decent best offer price - puts me at 172 with 10 cards left to go.

Updated Judson. My best advice to all is never be afraid to bump the Kraken, for the Kraken welcomes all and is always looking to munch on snack sized collectors.

Bumping the Kraken...but I would like to remind it that I'm not too tasty, but Howell's elbow is.

Added this one to my set beginning. I think I've heard of him but we'll add a +5 to my number. That puts me at 17, I think.

Nice card! Guess that no-name common tops my Howell Hole in Arm card. Kraken number updated.

An failed early attempt at Tommy John surgery.

You know that you have “arrived” when you are mentioned in the LOTG catalog.

The lot #227 listing points out that the offered E90-1 Matty comes from “the most popular and widely-collected of all the caramel issues”
You know…the Kraken!

So the phrase has become part of the hobby lexicon.
Who knew?

Oh , I still need three cards. If any collectors have released their Kraken and wanted to move the Wagner (batting) or Miller (sunset) … we should discuss
