Which begs the question "which came 1st, the Otis or the Egg?"

Still need Adkins, Hoblitzell name incorrect, and Bresnahan open mouth. I think that puts me at 392* with a blue ink Graham. Hope to join the 400 club soon.

The Adkins shouldn't be too tough to come by...heck, even I have one (shown in first post). Good luck on the 400 goal.

Are you calling Otis a chicken? If so, then Otis had a good reason to cross the road.

True, lets give him the Mel Ott Award, Mel being the first National Leaguer to get to 400 home runs.

Let's hope Otis checks back in on this thread, otherwise he will have been awarded the Ott for naught.

I guess my number is 341.

That's 400 - 59 for the following cards I don't have:

18 - Hoblitzell - No stats on back
13 - Mathewson - 1 loss on back
10 - Wilhelm - Suffered
7 - Wallace - No cap, one line 1910 stats
6 - Moran - Stray line under stats
5 - Gray - Stats on back

Ok. I'm suitably honored to receive the Melvin.

I was given a Melvin once, and it certainly didn't feel pleasant.

Nice Steve...that missing list looks awfully familiar.

336 for me. Missing Cobb, Gray, Hobby no stats, Matty 1 loss, Moran and Wilhelm suffered.
Thanks for putting this together.

Hey Brian - THANKS for doing this!

I am complete at 221 + have Graham - Rustlers w/blue signature, Hoffman, Danny - yellow 2nd base, Miller, Dots - middle initial 'D', Miller, Dots - middle initial 'D' with partial 'B', and Snodgrass, Fred - missing decimal point on .405 batting average.

That puts me at 400***** if I added correctly!
