Please update me to 457. It's slow progress at this stage, because a lot of what's left is kind of expensive. Like, you know - 3 Cobbs...

Got this one in the mail yesterday. It wasn't actually a new front for me, but at least it wasn't a back I had with him, and I like the color shift.

Default 520

My Cobb card arrived in the mail today and I have reached my goal of 520! 

Took many breaks along the journey, but I was able to get the set completed well before our first baby will arrive this fall. Have many board members to thank for their help along the way: Scott, Doug, Jeff, Rick, Paul, Tony, Luke, Jon, NJ, Mike, and Frank. Thank you guys!

My T206 Set Info:
- First Card: Arellanes
- Last Card: Cobb Red Portrait (Polar Bear)
- Set Storage: Mostly raw cards in Murray Nostalgia Binders
- Non-Piedmont/SC Backs: 49%
- Polar Bears: 198
- Biggest Lot Purchase: 219 card lot of T206’s
- Thought I Owned It, But Didn’t: Tim Jordan Portrait, when I thought I was closing in on Monster Number 500
- Accidentally Bought It Twice: Murray Batting PB
- Current Favorite Card: Pattee
- Next T206 Projects: Finish the low grade Polar Bear sub-set, upgrades, and finish my Pattee back run

Default Chasing the Monster

Today I reached 298. All SGC and PSA Graded. I realized that once you get this far along, that you discover that you have cards that you don't even remember purchasing. My goal is 400 by the end of 2018.

Default Annual Report - Year 6 less 4 days

Your long awaited Annual Monster Report has been completed this year 4 days ahead of schedule.

Thread Views continue to accelerate as they have since the beginning. In the first three years there were 110,000 views and in the last three years there were nearly 300,000. Earlier this month the 400,000 barrier was surpassed. With over 125,000 views in the past year, the thread should reach 500,000 views this year in September or October.

The number of posts and new cards posted continue to decrease however, which is not a surprise. The total number of cards on the list though has also reached the 60,000 milestone with today's update bringing the total to 60,102.

This six year experiment could not have been predicted. Who knows what it proves? Draw your own conclusions and have a

Happy 7th Monster Number New Year.

Frank - seems I'm always going in the wrong direction.

Perhaps, some day that will change, but, for now...I'm letting my 2 Rubes go on EBAY this week, so please drop me down to a hard 9:

(3) Cobbs; (2) Mattys; (2) Walters; one Cyclone and the honorable J. Ross Helms (because he played here that year).

Thanks

Hi, Frank.

I resumed my pursuit and picked up four more T206 cards today, including this slightly misprinted Hooks Wiltse. Please adjust my Monster Number to 99.

Best regards,

I’m now at two. My excuse is that it’s tough trying to find nicely centered (front and back) T206s.
