Frank - added a few more this weekend. Please bump me to 438. Thanks.

[Bocabirdman]

Three weeks, three cards; heck at this rate I'll be done by the end of the year.

New MN is 479.9

The latest three are:

202. J. Ross Helm OM
34. Chief Bender (Portrait) P350

477. Joe Tinker (Portrait) Piedmont (PSA 1 with a decent front and an unfortunate bit of Paperloss so Piedy "who knows" what .)

You are getting down the home stretch. Which cards did you save for last?

[wolf441]

Hi Frank,

Can you please bump me up to 451 when you have a chance?

Thanks,

Steve

Alex - I hadn't tallied the remaining cards in a while, so glad you asked - other than the 6 I'll never own, I need 25 (so called) commons, 15 SL's and 21 Hofers - not impossible in my lifetime.

I am up to 89 now

Kevin - That is very doable. The fun thing about the monster is that there are a ton of subsets (or mini-milestones as I like to think of them).

[sebie43]

Mr. Bridwell and a few HOF's from a board member brings me up to 64

[Bocabirdman]

Three more bits have found their way to Boca. This is getting to be too much like work. My new MN is 487.9 Whew!!!!

Here is the three....

314. John McGraw (Portrait With Cap) PB
249av. Red Kleinow (Boston) PB
143b. Joe Doyle (NY Hands Above Head) PB

[Wildfireschulte]

Frank - please put me down at 482. I've been distracted by upgrading some beaters in recent auctions when I should start going after some of the toughies. Go Blackhawks!

I enjoy reading this thread. It may sound strange but it makes me more enthusiastic about my own collection. When I see some of you getting near completion (520) it makes me realize that I can do the same if I am persistent. As always, thanks for sharing.

Those last two were to go in special 'sections' within my collection:

Purtell goes with all players born on my birthday

and lack of research had me missing Helm (actually Helms) - who played with my town's pro team 105 years ago.

[drmondobueno]

Keith here in the sunny waterless eastern sierras. My second set has expanded to 84 cards, as I continue to slowly upgrade my primary collection. Sure seems easier the second time around....not!

Happy Fourth of July to all!

The cards you are looking for on the BST aren't too tough so I am sure you will get there.

Frank, with the recent uptick in new threads, prices realized, and overall popularity of the sets, I think that it's time that you started a Cracker Jack Number thread.
