Kewl card Ted - Thanks for sharing!

Has there ever been a blank back Lundgren Chicago found?

Best regards and happy collecting :)

Craig

Erick,
Your SGC 40 set will be fun to watch. Those darn half grades from SGC will make it tougher but don't quit. It will be quite a set.

-2, now at 84. Thanks Frank-

Sincerely, Clayton

Craig

I acquired my EPDG Lundgren (Cubs) card from Barry Sloate back in 1984. I have tracked Lundgren cards ever since then.
In 28 years, I have never seen a blank-back Lundgren (Cubs).

I know people say it all the time ..... but I am dead serious here...... I just spit coffee all over my laptop.
Thanks .... I needed that laugh today ... but I definitely could have done without the coffee issue.

Steve, This is an illustrated thread.

Sorry 'bout that Steve..........:eek:

Up to 51. Thanks.

I am up to 479. I have only added about 25 in the past couple of years but my mortgage will be paid off in April so I might hit my goal of 520 in the next year or two:)

Hi Frank,

I'm at 120 for now. Thanks for running this post, great stuff as usual!!

Steve.

Just started and at 7. My first project is an e98 set, so I tend to work harder there. We will see where this goes. :)

2012 will always be my 'monster' year. 2013 will be spent upgrading.

Frank,

I'm at 278 now. Thanks for updating.

Scot (sreader3)

Looks like I'll end the year at 272, thanks to many who have helped me build from three cards at the start of 2012. Peace be with you all

keith

I'm at 365 (one for each day of the year :))

congrats on a GREAT year!!

Bring my monster number to 130

Another two swipes at the Monster. my new number is 238.9

I picked up....

Bill Lattimore SC350
Shad Barry (Milwaukee) Polar Bear


When I joined the Board back in late June 2012, my first Monster Number thread post was for 104. That makes for a gain of 136 cards to reach the 238.9, a good portion of which were scored from Board members here on the BST or through Board members over on the 'bay. I would like to thank all of you for making the last six months as fantastic as they were regarding my quest to beat the Monster. To any member that I haven't transacted with as of yet, "Fear not, It's only a matter of time".:D:)

518. Below is the last card I picked up for my set. (Technically, it was part of a group of four, but I wouldn't have bought this particular Merkle if I wasn't able to buy the other three cards in the lot to finish.)

Congrats!

Just started the monster right before Christmas with the strange task of going alphabetically only. I'm at Ames now as my next need, so I have the first 6 cards in the set plus a couple others....so the monster # is at a whopping 8. :)

"alphabetically"?? Good luck when you reach Co***...!

I hope to have the e98 set done by the time I reach Co***...! :) At that point, I'll just be working on the set fulltime and not worrying about alphabetical crap. :)

+ 5 tonight for me..Now at 135

I am now at 26

Picked up my first Polar Bear tonight, so up to 9. Loooooong way to go!

I'm up to 130 :) Mr. Hal Chase Blue Background took the honors

Only 26 to go.

Well I broke the Monster into 3 sub-sets: Southern Leaguers, Hall of Famers, Commons. With the addition of Paige last week, I have completed the Southern Leaguers (finally!). I'm at 442/524. 42 Commons and 40 Hall of Famers to go....

While the thread is warm, I'll update to 255.
