What's your Monster number?

[wonkaticket]

680....for now...

[mrvster]

Johnny,

WOW!!....look so great like that


This is a great post...

140 or so....

any extra for freaks?? not just me

[Runscott]

John, you should get that Plank put in a PSA holder - whoever currently owns the Wagner would probably pay good money for it as a companion piece with similar history.

[Vegas-guy]

Wow!!! Very nice group.. The Plank is stunning!!! what was the "alt" on it???

[richieb315]

I am at 410 T206s. Plus another 307 doubles/triples

Wonka drool worthy cards.

Just hit my 100th unique card and 134th total card, maybe i'll go for the monster after all

Monster# 100.

[t206hound]

I have no aspirations above the magical number 520; currently I sit at 189.

[wonkaticket]

Reg, the corners were rebuilt and a spot of blue to the left of Planks head was carefully painted in dot by dot by a restoration company. Scott different Plank than mine, that Plank is a Piedmont 150 one of the 3 or so known.

If I count extras I can add another 300+ cards. Here are some of the PSA examples in my set....I do this only bum Sloate out I know he was getting tired of T206's on the board.

If you're gonna go with a point system, why not use the PSA weight system? Having a Hall of Famer, or Southern Leaguer should easily count for more than having a common. Obviously the Wagner, Plank and Magie should count for a bit more than 10 points though..

The concept could get very complicated with Hall of Famers, Southern Leaguers, different backs and different grades, etc, etc, etc.

I wanted to keep it simple enough to get quick responses not requiring a calculator. I considered the PSA weighting system, but found it a bit to complicated for a quick answer and weighting Wagner a 10 just isn't fair.

My other goal was to have a maximum score of 1000, which has not yet been reported. The thread seems to be getting a good response and your input is appreciated.

Merry Christmas to all.

To keep it simple, everything should get a '1'. To go one additional level, you could have the three obvious tiers (O'Hara and Demmitt St. Louis are tier 3), and still keeping it simple, you could add a fourth tier of items such as Elberfeld/Washington, Kleinow/Boston, SL'ers with Old Mill backs, etc.

The above would be simple. Adding back multipliers would make it difficult for some board members to do the math.

In any event, your thread is fun, but if you really want to tabulate results, you need to make it more realistic.

Hi Frank

Slight adjustment to my Set #1 Monster number. Please put me at 290 total.

Also, after reading the bold print in your initial post, we should probably pull my set #2 off the main list. Its a back specific set and probably should be listed below as a subset.

Thanks
