What's your Monster number (2)?

But only the current Monster caretaker can get away with having a personal Monster Number over 1000, and thus be at the top of the T206 collecting heap...a potential perk of the job.

A year plus later and I am at 517. Trying to figure out if I have the milk money to get an Elberfield Washington, or if I am done. Those pesky Polar Bear variations are out of my league, so I will curl up next to my T213 Demmitt that has the StL on the jersey and be happy.

Really? You don't think people would want to see pictures of the Wagner, Plank and Doyle? Wouldn't people be suspicious if they weren't provided?

I guess I don't understand the scoring system. How do you get more than 1000 points? I thought if you had every card, that was 1000 points.

Hi rats and Al, just an example of my sense of humor in action. The way Frank set up the Monster, 1000 is the highest possible score. But the person running the thread could claim a score higher than 1000, because, dang it all to heck in a handbasket, they are the Monster King and thus entitled to have the absolute best T206 set in all the Net54 kingdom.

It all refers back to the rivalry between Frank and I as the creators of similar threads, Frank with his Monster, and my E-90-1 and T205 (superior) rip-offs. All of course in the effort to goose Frank's gander, if you get what the flock I am talking about. Hopefully Frank is reading this so he can respond in his usual accordian fashion (that's a polka to Frank's ribs)

I imagine the Keith Olbermann collection could have a Monster Number greater than 1,000. Olbermann acquired a number of T206 proofs that were not issued for general circulation.

Good point.Eric...I vote an asterisk beside the Monster Number for each un-issued T206 proof card that a collector owns.

Just started collecting T206s in June, 2024 and would like to be added to the list. Also, s/o to everyone on this forum. I reference it often and it has been incredibly insightful since my return to collecting. Looking forward to periodically updating this number in 2025. Thanks!

My monster number: 7
