E90-1, The Kraken (AKA The E-Monster) - post your collection progress

[brianp-beme]

Dammit! Thanks Steve for making my head burst into a million particles of tiny shame. You are absolutely correct. I officially make you my double-checking right hand man, because the fellow typing this sentence obviously should not be in accounting.

Here is what I have to offer now, which is what I originally came up with but accidentally eliminated Cy Cleve from the list, causing this whirl of blunderbusses. Please note that besides Cy (Cleveland) now being 7 points, I have downgraded Bemis, O'Connor and Seigle from 3 points back to 1 point each.

20 Joe Jackson

10 Tris Speaker
10 Honus Wagner (throwing)

7 Hugh Duffy
7 Mike Mitchell
7 Honus Wagner (batting)
7 Cy Young (Cleveland)

5 Fred Clarke (Pittsburgh)
5 Ty Cobb
5 Willie Keeler (red background)
5 Jake Stahl
5 Bill Sweeney (Boston)
5 Ed Walsh

4 Peaches Graham
4 Christy Mathewson
4 Eddie Plank
4 Cy Young (Boston)

3 Bob Bescher
3 Patsy Dougherty
3 George Gibson (back)
3 Harry Howell (wind up)
3 Ed Karger
3 Willie Keeler (throwing)
3 Addie Joss (throwing)
3 Nap Lajoie
3 Tommy Leach (throwing)
3 Hans Lobert
3 Larry McLean
3 Dots Miller (sunset)
3 Orval Overall
3 Dave Shean
3 George Stone (left hand showing)
3 Jerry Upp

1 each for the rest of the 88 cards

A complete set of 121 would thus be 250 points

And here is a breakdown of each point level:


1 x 20 = 20
2 x 10 = 20
4 x 7 = 28
6 x 5 = 30
4 x 4 = 16
16 x 3 = 48
88 x 1 = 88
---------------
121 cards
250 points

Am I right? If so, let's put me out of my misery.

And Brian, please forgive me from making you do extra spreadsheet work...and you will have to recalculate your Kraken # too!

I apologize for causing so much grief Brian.

If it's any consolation, I agree with your calculations in your latest post. I think we can finally set this in concrete

No apologies needed and thanks Steve...and while we are at it why don't we throw Jimmy Hoffa into the concrete too, but to not mess things up Jimmy will have a 0 point value.

The abacus was easy to edit, I just changed a couple cells to reflect the final (?) scoring weights.

The hard part was having to reduce my number by 6 full points because I had all three of the players that were downgraded :

So put me down for 104.

Also please do email me for a version of the abacus if you’d like...

If someone wants to send me a spreadsheet of the abacus, there might be some way I can work with it (and host as large of an image as is needed) and post it in this thread, if that would help? Nice work so far!! I am still at 4.

Gee Leon,

After over 400,000 Monster Number views, now you tell me you can help.

Leon, I'm sending you my Abacus sheet...
It is a MS Excel file, and it has formulae built in to do all the work...if you can host the excel file that would be ideal.
A picture would just give anyone interested an idea of what it looks like.

The file calculates both the Kraken number and the Set number...as if anyone would calculate their E90-1 set progress the "old" way....
