Why not just bump the old thread?

It wasn't being maintained. The last update was about a year ago. We discussed it a bit there. I separately chatted with Leon, Bob, and Frank. A new thread seemed the best way to go. I'll maintain it, moving forward.

Can there at least be a discussion?

Please, please, please!!!!

I have no concerns. Just love a good discussion.

Thanks for the post, Eric. I've done some downsizing and my monster number is now 13.

Thanks Eric for being willing to do the heavy lifting and placing the Monster thread upon your shoulders. I think we have a Monster caretaker for the long haul.

It is interesting to see that we have almost 100 entries with Monster Numbers of 500 or more. Dang, T206 cards are PLENTIFUL!

Fear not, Mr. Dahlen only has some unintelligible scribble on his back.

Sir, and I use the term loosely, I did the heavy lifting for more than 10 years and my shoulders needed a break. Your welcome. And to your second point monster numbers tend to go up rather than down.

Sir, and unlike you I use the term tightly, I realize that you did Monstrously heavy lifting during your long reign. You kept a tidy ship and handled your responsibilities with diligence and the grace required in being the steward of your brainchild. Your successor gave up within a few months, which in contrast just points out that your efforts were not unappreciated, at least to me. Eric seems to be a worthy replacement as our Monster Caretaker.

Frank, you should take those shoulders to a massage parlor and get the happy ending you deserve.

Never really thought I'd make it this far, but I'm currently up to 500! REA gave me a good boost. Latest acquisition:
