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

Steve

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

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

If you mean the annual visit to the proctologist, I could not agree more.

Brian,
I haven't been going for any of the variations. I've just tried to collect one of each player in the HOF and picked up whichever back combination was available at a price I could afford.

HOF HAVE 16
HOF NEED 9


Based on the list you posted, I count that you have 17 different HOF cards. I removed all the cards you listed as 'Need' in the below revised list that only shows what you have. Is it correct?


CHAS. BENDER Piedmont 25
ROGER P. BRESNAHAN CLOSED MOUTH - H.O.F. Piedmont25
ROGER P. BRESNAHAN OPEN MOUTH - H.O.F.
MORDECAI BROWN Hassan 649
FRANK J. CHANCE Honest LC
FRED C. CLARKE Sovereign
TY COBB H.O.F. Piedmont 25
EDDIE COLLINS CLOSED MOUTH - WHITE ELEPHANT Piedmont 25
EDDIE COLLINS CLOSED MOUTH-YELLOW ELEPHANT
EDDIE COLLINS OPEN MOUTH
JOHN J. EVERS SC Red
CLARK GRIFFITH Polar Bear
MILLER J. HUGGINS Polar Bear
HUGHIE JENNINGS Polar Bear
CHRISTY MATHEWSON 1 LOSS VARIATION
CHRISTY MATHEWSON SC Red
TRIS SPEAKER Piedmont 25
JOE TINKER Hassan 649
BOBBY WALLACE 2 LINES 1910
BOBBY WALLACE WITH CAP Piedmont 25
ED WALSH WHITE DIAMOND - SHORT PRINT 2
ZACK WHEAT H.O.F. Polar Bear


If the above list is indeed an accurate list of what you have, your Kraken number would be 76* (the asterisk indicating the Eddie Collins Yellow Elephant variation)

Do you have the Mathewson 1 Loss variation? It is an incredibly tough card to come by. That card alone is 13 of the 76 points.

Confirm what you indeed have and I will add your Kraken number to the list.

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

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!
