Fractional Cards - New Policy
Seeing that Waddell again makes me want to cry.
 I want to discourage future activity in the fractional T206 market for the purpose of shamelessly increasing one's Monster Number by a few tenths. To this end new policy rules are required: 1. No longer will cards be given partial scores based on their degree of paper loss. 2. Mike's Rule - You have three choices sir. Your Monster Number will be increased to 203  , or you can accept the portion of my Bay card that has been removed to bring your Monster Number to 202, or you may invoke the Schaefer Precendent (see below) and remain a .9er forever.  My chief concern here is too avoid having to grade an avalanche of partial cards for scoring purposes. This would inevitably lead to disputes, "small" claims and possible disruption of the entire market.

Quote:
Germany Schaefer once stole second base, then announced to the pitcher that he was going to steal again on the next pitch. Puzzled, the pitcher looked to third and confirmed there was indeed a runner there. The pitcher shrugged his shoulders and pitched. Germany took off and slid in, throwing a cloud of dust into the air.... at first base. Germany then stole second again on the following pitch. The powers-that-be checked the rule book and finding no rule against it, gave Germany credit for, not one, but three steals on the sequence. They immediately amended the rulebook to prevent any future shenanigans for the basepaths. However, Germany's steal of first stands in the Record Book. To avoid any future fractionals is OK with me. The existing ones are no more disruptive than a single steal of first , are they?

t206
Hi Frank,
I hope you received my want list. With my buy today of Tinker, my Monster Number is 562. The writing on the card must have been done in the teens or early twenties. |

Finally went back and freed (de-slabbed) ALL of my T206's and T205's. Going a step further, even got rid of the plastic holders, so they are all just in slips. Perfectly safe, given the condition I collect, and a much more accessible collection now.
Number is now 65
