Just a visible bump, but not one that you should be too concerned about, or feel the need to visit a doctor.
I would love to add some more yolks to the list, especially those who are beginning or are just a little ways on their EGGS journey. Brian |

I saw that the below was accidentally posted to another thread, so am adding it here and to the EGGS list. Mother Hen is always on the lookout for errant EGGS posts.
Brian Alaskanmade member [QUOTE=familytoad;2239357]I agree 4 is a nice solid grade for the EGGS basket. What’s your score? My EGGS is 75 I am not chasing the 400, I'm only chasing the 99 (HOF front variants + Cicotte + Chase) 7 Joss, Addie 6 Johnson, Walter 6 Young, Cy 5 Mathewson, Christy 4 Collins, Eddie - mouth open 4 Speaker, Tris 4 Walsh, Ed 3 Cicotte, Eddie 3 Evers, Johnny 3 Wallace, Bobby - no cap/2 lines 2 Baker, Frank 2 Bender, Chief 2 Bresnahan, Roger - mouth closed 2 Brown, Mordecai 2 Chance, Frank 2 Chase, Hal - border on shirt 2 Clarke, Fred 2 Collins, Eddie - mouth closed 2 Duffy, Hugh 2 Huggins, Miller 2 Jennings, Hugh 2 Marquard, Rube 2 McGraw, John 2 Tinker, Joe 2 Wallace, Bobby - with cap |

Finally got around to counting my eggs ((251))
Having obtained all the HOFs, SPs, and cards that are least a 2 or above from the regular set. I found I have no real want to go after the remaining commons. So not complete set or 400 for me. Still my favorite set of all time. |

I'm at 359. No Hoblitzell, Matty, or suffered. Funny, in 1975 my set was complete. A number of variations have been added since. Any extra points for having the first Hindu reported in the hobby? (1974)--Rich Egan was the keeper of the master list back then. Correspondence with Lionel Carter, Egan, etc found them initially dubious. My "scanner" back then was a Canon camera with film in it. Had to send them prints to convince then there was such an animal as a T205 Hindu.

Hi all. I just started my T205 set in earnest last month. Thanks to a few BST buys I'm at 60 cards, almost all ungraded. Looks like my EGGS is 65 thanks to the WaJo which I've had for a while. Fun idea, I'll try to remember to update my progress here. Oh, and if anyone has dupes they'd like to sell, I'm interested!
Thanks

Hey Brian,
Just getting around to checking out this thread and counted my holdings. You can put me at 29* EGGS points for now. I just starting to pick up more T205s so hopefully I will be able to chime in more in the future as well. Thanks. .

I guess better to be missing a couple of Hoblitzells versus Cobb and Young, for example. Because you already have a couple of Hoblitzells...how many Hoblitzells does a person really need, anyhow?

That’s an excellent question BP.
For most sets I don’t collect variations because they (to each his own) don’t excite me. Having a fully different pose? Sure thing. Having a stray dot /stray line or an asterisk or something ? No thank you. But for the awesome EGGS quest, I find myself wanting those slight imperfections and changes. Ive cracked into a few of them which has prompted a decent EGGS tally. But these are hard to find in T205. Everyone is chasing about 10-12 cards from the carton. I’ll still try but I haven’t added a new yolk in a long time.

I finally took some time and went thru all my T205's to see if I had any of those "speckled eggs"
I believe I may have found 3... Graham, George - Rustlers w/blue signature Hoffman, Danny - yellow 2nd base, no yellowish stripe in background Miller, Dots - middle initial 'D' with partial 'B'...possibly 2 of them Let me know if these appear correct Thanks Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk |

i have 149 out of a possible 151 T205 Cubs with multiple back runs. The only 2 cards I am missing from the subset are the Kling and Pfiester Hindu cards.

Only need to knock the Hobby no stats cap off the Kraken, Millerd33, to vanquish the beast.
And Ken, when I have some time I will figure out your Kraken number. As per strict Kraken rules, your Master Cubs collection will have a relatively small numerical number, but I will note the masterliness of your Cubs group. I remember when you just started on it, I mentioned it might be impossible for you to achieve...you have almost proven me wrong. Find those 2 Hindus! Brian |

Brian, just landed a Chase left ear showing, so I guess that ups me 3 points.

Ahhh....the danger of running two similar threads of this type. I actually meant 'knock the Hobby no stats cap off the Tiger Shark's dorsal area', because a Tiger Shark lays EGGS.
I had to look that up, I am no marine biologist. And John, I added 3 points to your Tiger Shark number. Brian |

Testing, testing, 1,2,3
I think I figured out how to use my old scanner with my new laptop. It's taken 4 months of trial and error. Here goes...
Not sure of my EGG/Kraken number as I mostly collect the backs.

Thanks, John, and good luck with the scanning.
In my case, I have a GT-1500 by Epson. I had downloaded the software from a 3rd party website and it did not work. Today I found the software on the Epson site. It works with auto-settings only, which is okay with me.
