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

Impressive couple of cards from the 'AN' crowd of Anson and Andy. And Anson is correct...there are plenty of tough cards in the set. I had the good fortune to obtain most of my scarce before this knowledge became more well known.

And congrats on the E91A/B/C completion. They are fun group of cards, but unlike the E90-1 set there are no known (currently) tough cards. And if I were to start a comparable thread, I might get a handful of replies.

Your numbers have been updated, and I reserve the right to update when the stars possibly align in the future.

Brian,
Agreed but I would be in that "handful", lol.

Thanks, Brian -- it's weird. I didn't have any great affinity towards that set (E91). I just started picking them up. Many were really cheap at the time. Before I knew it, I had 20 or so, so I just kept going.

I really began to enjoy it because of the challenge. And while there aren't really cards in it that I consider tougher than the others (other than the fact that they seem to get slightly more plentiful with each progressive series), I'd argue that the entire series is just flat out difficult. You're certainly right in that there isn't anything stupidly rare. But at the National this weekend, I saw very few in total. Like a couple dozen.

I agree, Anson. E91s are not super easy to complete.
