My first addition in nearly a year. I think this puts me at 200 (116/121).

You are now at 200, about 96% towards set completion, but 80% of the way to the Kraken home port...some rough seas ahead. Good luck!

Glad to see that last post brought a few folks out of the woodwork.

A while back, I thought I was shorted three points. That must not have been true because after two pickups of three-pointers, my total should be 215 and not the 218 I thought it would be.

Added Shean and Stone one hand for six points in the last week. Here's Shean while Stone is still in transit.

Missing only Shoeless Joe, Wags Batting, and Stahl now!

So let's try this again -- my total is 215! Apologies for cheating the Kraken on three points.

Good you came forward Anson, because the Kraken himself (it might be herself, as I've been kinda afraid to ask) comes by on occasion and checks folks #'s for accuracy. Not sure how the Kraken knows everyone's true Kraken #'s, but if anyone would, it sure would be the Kraken.

Nice pickups, and all is revised in E-Monster land.

I'm such an idiot. Wagner batting is only seven points, not ten. I'm missing Joe, Wagner Batting, and Stahl -- 32 points missing from the 250 target. So 218 is indeed my total. You should probably leave it as 215 as a penalty for my stupidity.

Don't be so hard on yourself Anson. If this was the T206 Monster # we were dealing with, where practically every card is worth just one point, then I would get worried. The Kraken demands intense, intricate computation and constant vigilance, and slipups are not only expected, but to some degree should be applauded...it means your journey has been fraught with a boatload of danger, but in spite of this you have still made much progress across turbulent seas.

Thus, for the time being, 218 you are and shall be.

Brian, happy to add Evers and Walsh to my total. Not cheap but......

Hi John, I will put you down for a Kraken number of 6 because of these two cards. I do not see a previous Kraken number for you. Do you have other E90-1 cards that can be added to boost your score?

Brian, I do indeed and thought I was in the Kraken registry. Your computer must have dropped me. My current K. count, including the Walsh comprises:
1. Cobb
2. Young Boston
3. Lajoie
4. Matty
Tks. John
