How far are you on your quest to slay the monster?

I'm at 518 and one more Cobb and the O'Hara will get me to my finish line (with only 80 Piedmonts). I might (one day) try for the Magie, but if not, so be it.

I recently stopped and sold off my other projects to take another shot at the Monster. Currently, I'm at 37 (#37 arrived today) with 4 incoming. My progress can be seen here:

Started with a few different backs and now have a completed Cleveland team set. Overall about 10% done with the monster.

I'm at 138 including 67 hall of famers. All in the fair, good, vg range.

Started last summer. The monster tried to get me to quit this winter and I sold my poor condition commons. I only listened for a few weeks, and now have re-started with a little better focus to aid my budget. I suspect it will try to get me to quit again when I attain all of the hall of famers (-2). Still need 2 cobbs (green and bat-on) 2 Collins, Griffith port, Lajoie throwing and Young glove. We'll see.

In the meantime, I am enjoying the quest. A large part is the plethora of reading material and history on this board and it's links.

Ran across this 10-28-07 "quote" from the archives while reading the thread on number of t206 sets this morning:

It is an amazingly shrewd adversary,yet a most intriguing friend.
Forgive my anthropomorphism.

all the best,
barry

Made me smile. Things like that make this set more than just a stack of cards for me.
