I would expect no less from the 'marm.:D

Wildfireschulte 03-19-2014 07:22 PM

I lost my MoJo for while, but I'm up to 426 thanks to t206hof.

cincyredlegs 03-19-2014 07:53 PM

I've been holding my breath.:D

There are now over 40,000 cards on the list, hopefully no duplicate entries.;)

bigtrain 03-25-2014 09:08 AM

now at 439.

AMBST95 03-27-2014 02:43 PM

Moving up to 141

jlehma13 03-27-2014 05:43 PM

276.

Bocabirdman 04-08-2014 04:22 AM

I am getting down to the point of "Holy Sh*t, this is getting tough.". Every card that I need from here on out is a HOF, save for Foster and Helm being the last two SL to go. To be quite honest, as I look at the remaining Big Dawgs, I have to wonder if it is do-able without a divorce lawyer:D There MAY be a couple that can be had for a single Ben but most of what is left will require twin Bens or better. I will keep on slogging.:)

Here are the latest three pick-ups for a MN of 476.9

50. Ted Breitenstein OM
228. Hughie Jennings (Portrait) SC350
311. John McGraw (Finger In Air) SC150

wolf441 04-08-2014 04:48 AM

Nice work Mike!!

Hey Frank,

Can you please bump me up to 431 when you have a chance?

Best,

Steve

I Only Smoke 4 the Cards 04-08-2014 08:38 AM

Good luck, Mike.

VoodooChild 04-08-2014 09:21 AM

I've been at "The Monster" for a little over a year now and finally reached my first milestone. These latest three pick-ups bring my total to 100:

the 'stache 04-16-2014 01:16 PM

Frank, I added Josh Devore and a Harry Howell portrait. It's been quite a while since I've been able to buy any T206, and my number is still small. But it feels good just to add something to my collection.

So, please up my monster number to 23. Thanks!

I Only Smoke 4 the Cards 04-17-2014 09:17 AM

Three weeks, three cards; heck at this rate I'll be done by the end of the year.:confused::eek::rolleyes::):D

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 .)

iwantitiwinit 04-29-2014 08:06 AM

Up to 477 now, thank you.

sreader3 04-29-2014 09:09 AM

Hi Frank,

I'm at 385 now with 29 different backs represented.

Still looking for one example each of AB460, RH, Uz, Dr and BL460 in PSA 5.

Many thanks for your commitment to this thread,

Scot

bigtrain 05-03-2014 10:49 AM

449 looking to get to 450 soon.

I Only Smoke 4 the Cards 05-03-2014 11:27 AM

Mike and Kevin - You guys are getting close!

Wildfireschulte 05-04-2014 12:32 PM

Frank - monster weekend for The Monster puts me at 457. Still have my work cut out for me to crack the top 50.

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

wolf441 05-04-2014 05:02 PM

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.

thescooper 05-04-2014 06:12 PM

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).

A quick turn around used to be my norm but lately I have been going nearly a month between updates. The planets aligned this week, I guess. I grabbed 5 since my last post (including two from The MN maestro himself. Thanks Frank!). Foster kills the Southern Leaguers for me. All I have left are the six biggest Dawgs, the non-Nat'l Doyle (NY Hands Above Head), the inaugural HOF class, players celebrated in movies, poetry and song and a few HOF that are now by anyone with more than a passing interest in the history of the game. It grows questionable as to how much further I can take this. It is a given that my pace will slow but I will keep looking:D:eek::)

After these five, my new MN is 484.9

242. Willie Keeler (Batting) P150
57. Mordecai Brown (Cubs On Shirt) P150
110. Sam Crawford (With Bat) SC350
313. John McGraw (Portrait No Cap) P150
172. Ed Foster OM

Not my scan but.....

Mike - That's awesome! I often wonder if it easier to put the if cards for last or if doing so will make me want to give up when I get there. What are your thoughts?

I always intended to get the tough ones out of the way first, it's was simply a case of 486 other cards coming my way first.:D

Wildfireschulte 05-10-2014 06:37 AM

I'm starting the weekend at 463 - hoping to pick up Goodwin's green Cobb next week if no one else bids so please lay off.

martingale 05-10-2014 06:46 PM

Counted today and I'm up to 143.

leaflover 05-11-2014 11:26 AM

Down to 260.

t206hound 05-13-2014 07:22 AM

Move me down too
 
Changed focus with a bunch of cards consigned and many more to sell. You can move me down to 49 in my "collection."

bigtrain 05-13-2014 10:23 AM

Slow going but I have made it to 450.

Wildfireschulte 05-17-2014 08:30 AM

Frank - starting the weekend at 472. Thanks to all the action on BST, 500 is starting to seem achievable in the next year or so.

Wildfireschulte 05-17-2014 11:12 AM

Frank - make that 478 - productive morning with Erick and Fred. Thanks guys.
