The fella that I snagged Rube from recently scored a low-grade slabbed example for his collection. He decided to part with this survivor. Heck I got two-thirds of a HOF T206 for a WHOLE lot less than two-thirds of the expected price.

Monster number Update
The Monster Number Thread is now over 8 months old. The next set entered will be number 100. Over 25,000 cards are represented in the 99 current sets.
I never imagined that this stupid little idea would become a fixture on this board. I know there are those who could care less about this thread, but there are also those who continue to support it. Thanks to the latter group and I beg for the indulgence of the former. The Monster Number list will be maintained in the background with each update reported by posting, PM or email. Thanks to all for your continued support of this stupid little idea. It only seems appropriate to request any other updates at this time by closing this post with four simple words........What's Your Monster Number?

New to the monster
I pulled my first 2 in 2002 from Topps T206 as buy backs. I loved having them, but never really thought about getting more until I join this site a month or so ago. Since then, I've picked up 8 more. My MN is 10.
Scans are my 1st and last scores. |

219 unique towards the monster set, then a bunch of back variations.
Representative cards (nothing too special condition wise, someone took a bite out of Cobb: Here's the worst, sitting on my 'replace this when the opportunity presents itself' pile:

Hey Frank B.
Quote:
In your initial rules, you alluded to possibly giving numerical credit for "unique" T206 back situations. So, I ask you.....does a near complete All-PIEDMONT set (519 cards) warrant extra credit. This set is unique in the hobby. Perhaps, the only other T206 guy that completed such a set is Bill Heitman back in the 1970's. Furthermore....DITTO goes for my complete All-SOVEREIGN set of 402 cards. Incidently, you have my SOVEREIGN set # listed as 444. A complete All-SOVEREIGN set comprises of 402 cards (No Big Six in it). I have 42 extra SOVEREIGN cards towards completing a master set. So, please correct my number on this set. I appreciate your consideration to my requests as stated here. TED Z |
