2 Frank Baker
2 Harry Bemis
2 Mordecai Brown
2 Wally Clement
2 Eddie Collins
2 Sam Crawford
2 George Davis
2 Ray Demmitt
2 Addie Joss (portrait)
2 Willie Keeler (portrait - pink)
2 Paddy O'Connor
2 Johhny Seigle
2 Jimmy Sheckard
2 Vic Willis

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.

Brian, isn't the Keeler red portrait considered scarcer and more valuable than the pink? Tks John

Hi John, you are correct, the Keeler red portrait is much more difficult than the Keeler pink portrait. In Kraken land, the red is worth 5, and the pink 1. My potential (but not implemented) revision I quoted above would have bumped the pink version to 2, because Keeler is a more popular hall of famer. But pink Keeler anguishly languishes at 1.

Brian, sadly not the red version, but I did pick up the pink last week.

To make myself feel better, I like to think of my Keeler pink card as a red background version that got faded by too many hours of direct sunlight.

After "completing" the Monster (518) and 3 cards away from finishing my T205 set (missing Gray with Stats, Wilhelm Suffered, and Wagner Boston and passing on the Cycle Mathewson and the rare Holbliztell), I decided to wade into the Kraken pond....

I'm starting with just HOF'ers for now...my number is 11...not sure if I will go for the set, but I said that with the other two as well...lol

Great thread!!!

Welcome John...like T206 and T205, E90-1 is another infectious card collecting disease that you might spend several fun years trying to cure. You have made the list, and I expect to see you rise up on it over time.
