Monster Update
Hi Frank,
Would you mind bumping me up to 336 when you have a chance? Thanks! Steve |
Just hit 450 (all SGC50 or better).
Starting to get tougher and more expensive with 70 more to go:D |
Received one today to reach 117.
|
I'm now at 27, with 5 HOFers.
|
Hi, Frank.
I picked up a few more recently. Please update my Monster number...to 54. Best, Eric |
I have reached my goal for this year. Now at an even 400.
|
I dont really have a dedicated effort here, but...
I have still amassed 56 of these little buggers anyway! :D
|
|
|
Parked at 515, it seems
|
After chasing my tail instead of the Monster's these last few weeks, I finally scored 1.....Hot Damn. New MN is 432.9

Please update my MN to 170
|
New member here, monster number is 11.
|
With my recent O'Hara StL purchase, I'm now at 520!
Now, I need to get a winning lottery ticket :D Steve |
A Ten Deck Shoe
A Monster Number "Attaboy" goes out to Steve D today.
Steve, I also have some vintage lottery tickets available.:D |
Congrats Steve! 520 is/was my magic number too. That O'Hara is a toughie.
|
Great job Steve! I've got a long ways to go but I hope to join you someday! What's next?
|
Thanks Guys! :)
Getting to 520 cards in T206 took me just over 10 years (I started with a Cobb red background in Aug '03). I'm not sure what I'm going to do next set-wise. I have been going after Old Judge HOFers the last 4 years (I have 8 of the 27 different HOFers), so I know I'll be continuing that goal. Steve |
I feel like I am chopping down a redwood with a nail file but I have grabbed two more Monster bits....New MN is 434.9
The New Two: 115a. Bill Dahlen (Boston) P150 151. Bull Durham P150 |
I'm new to the site, but this post has renewed my interest in T206's. So time to break out the shoe boxes, separate the doubles and count some cards. What is the best source for a current checklist? Wikipedia and T206 museum sites list 514 and Lipset Volume 3 has 523 cards listed.
|
As dis-interested in t206 as I am...even I am curious to find out what you have in those shoeboxes wildfire!!!!
518 is considered complete by some not including demmit, o'hara st louis variations. 520 will include them and is complete to many. 524 is the way to go and will include wagner, doyle ny nat'l, magie error and plank! |
How to get from 514 to 524
Some of the 514 checklists include a and b variations for cards with basically the same front image but with different teams or captions. They are
Doyle NY & Doyle NY NATL Magee Portrait & Magie Port Demmitt NY & SL O'Hara NY & SL F Smith White Cap Chi & (Chi & Bos) Lundgren KC & Chi Kleinow Catching NY & Bos Elberfeld Port NY & Wash G Brown(e) Was & Chi Dahlen Bos & Bro Peter's explanation of 518 and 520 are of course correct.;) |
89 please. Thank you!

Right, Waz...I'm just trying to be kinder...and gentler!!!:)
|
So Lipset's list with 523 is only missing one card - seems to include all of the variations Frank listed, but I may be off a Smith. First time through, I'm at 304 but haven't found my Cubs box yet.

Pete starting to worry about you are you sure you're not just a tad T206 curious? :)

Hi Frank,
Please update my number to 335. Thanks. Tim Fritz |

You guys have some amazing collections.

I added: 92. Fred Clarke portrait 104. Wid Conroy with bat 195. Clark Griffith portrait 461. Charlie Starr Thanks! |
Still making progress. Now 412. Should be slowing down as I have mostly Hall of Famers, Southern Leaguers and a few tough commons left.

Frank,
This is my first post to the "Monster Number" thread. I bought my first T206 on 2/21/2013 and received my latest one on Saturday. My total is now 75. This is probably my best one: |
93 please
|
Jason, for a "beginner" that's a really nice card. :)
|
Please make that number 94 now
|
Frank...you're a glutton for bookkeeping!!!!

Picked up a Matty White Cap this evening. That makes 518! Began this quest in March 2012 and had no idea how consuming the monster can be!
P S. On the very same day Wazoo hit post #1000! A day to remember:D |

Happy Birthday Monster Number
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VvPhjzcHypg
Yes, two years old today with over 8000 new cards added in the second year. Almost 34000 views in the second year up nearly 7000 from year one. 43 new sets have been added. |

To echo Dr. Frank...Happy Birthday, Monster number. :) |

Initially there were some lists from the early months that were posted. I would suggest Post #79 for the first list of the Top 40, posted on Feb 20, 2012. You needed 46 cards to be in the Top 40 then. Now you need 508 to be in the Top 40. Somebody must still be printing these puppies.:eek::eek::D:D I currently update a master list on my laptop, and then copy & paste to post #1 as an edit. I'm really glad we switched over to posting the whole list in Post #1. It's easier for me and more accessible for you, plus I don't have to add a post for the purpose of updating the list. |
I was at zero two years ago. Started in Oct. of 2012 and just picked up number 140(no need to up date though) and it was a Ty Cobb sgc 10. Also picked up one of those Dakota wood boxes from JP's father in law as a Christmas gift. Love working on this set. Thanks for all the help guys!!!
|
A few T206 boxes remain.... :)
|
Up to 98 :) 2 more Away! Tomorrow's my birthday so let's see if I get to 100 :)
|
24
|
Frank - Please bump me to 381 - hard to believe that I added 31 cards and only move up two spots on the list. All my adds from BST - thanks guys!
|
Guess it's time to throw in the towel. I don't think my BB HOR RC thread is going to match the 61,000÷ views or 850÷ posts for this one. Kudos to you, Frank!
