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

[puckpaul]

That was a strong number! Saw that. I love that Speaker card and pose, it’s one of the best cards period.

I remember when i bought most of the tough ones in a Clean Sweep Auction (8 years ago?), i would buy cards like that i liked and then think, what am i doing buying random cards (i am pretty big on set collecting and having a purpose to my buys besides “cool card I will buy some of those”)? If you are going to set collect you have to buy the big ones first or its hard to ever finish, and I did some of that with those E90-1s back then, but never got the Jackson and haven’t made much more progress yet…stared at many of them.

But BOY am I glad now that i did buy things like that…i also bought a Wilson Franks Williams like that, because I love the silly hot dog package floating on the cards…and it was Ted Williams, no great risk or leap of course….went for almost $20k last night??!

Nice posts today to reawaken the Kraken. And puckpaul starting strong with some heavy hitters...I too admire the Speaker and the red Keeler.

Release the Kraken again! A few pickups from REA takes me up to 44. Long way to go. Some awesome examples in this thread!

May your E90-1 journey be filled with twists and turns of the pleasant nature, such as tackled in mountain roads by a driving enthusiast.

Three new pickups, some prettier than others. Sorry about the photo.
Should take me to 194 Kraken points.

In the upcoming LOTG auction (Happy Anniversary, Al) I have consigned a Walsh and Keeler throwing, both nice cards but only graded as 2's. Leon, I hope this kind of post is ok.

Forget Leon (Leon, forget that I wrote this), it is okay with me, especially since I am still missing Mr. Walsh.

Sweeney is one of the cool looking E90-1 kids. I have updated you to 194.
