What's your Monster number?

[Edwolf1963]

Hey, good morning! @ Sean, no - not finished collecting, just felt like I "completed" T206 and then got into the "now what" stage. I put "completed" in quotes as I never planned on the Big 4, but felt a sense of accomplishment after I got to the threshold. I'll use the $$ from here to focus on other things. I have the E93 set complete minus just the Wagner at present. Have about 50 of the 1914 CJ's which is more a focus now as well as 50's and 60's Topps HOFs in grade 7 or better.

@ Frank - thanks, I hope you will bid! Highlights are the entire set is grade 4 or better with 50-60% 5's and 6's. Only three "3's" (Cobb Green, Demmit and O'Hara) - and nicer 3's (IMO) at that. Brooklyn Dahlen in a 60, Elberfeld Old Mill back in a 50, Walter Johnson port in 60, Matty port in a great looking 60 (centered), in fact - many of the HOF's and SL'ers are 5's. Mostly common back, but a few SOV 460, EPDG, Tolstoi, Cycle, Am Beauty, etc.

Bill is going to break up, may lot some of the 4's - thought it better that way than sell as a set. For me, then fun was research and collecting .. got bored when completed. Anyone else get that way..??

Congrats Ed, I hope you do well in the auction. I'm happy to have added quite a few of your T206's into my collection over the past years. Kind of bummed that you won't have any more singles for us poor folk It's always been great to deal with you.

Sincerely, Clayton

Frank, Ed has three 3s for sale, Cobb green, O'hara, and Demmitt. I will be disappointed if you don't pick up at least one of them.

Ed, yes, I felt the same way back in 2008 when I nearly completed the T206. I spent four years putting together a 1965 Topps set -all mint 9. I am still missing one card, Joe Nossek.

When I got close to finishing I returned to T206, and now I try for subsets like a back run or something else interesting.

Ed...that sounds like an amazing set...best of luck!

Kind of ironic that my post preceded Ed's. I sold my entire high grade T206 set in May 2009 in the REA auction. Now one card away from having it back in a couple of grades lower on average, especially some of the key cards. Ed has supplied me with a few over the last year and is a pleasure to deal with. Best of luck with the CJ's.

Dropped my collection of t206s to zero a couple months ago..........but back up to 13 total with all being HOFers. So looks like my number needs changed.

I have a number but I havent figured it out...

My main question to Frank is why didn't you include Ty Cobb with Ty Cobb back as part of the set? That would add just a little twist don't you think?
