Hi John, you are correct, the Keeler red portrait is much more difficult than the Keeler pink portrait. In Kraken land, the red is worth 5, and the pink 1. My potential (but not implemented) revision I quoted above would have bumped the pink version to 2, because Keeler is a more popular hall of famer. But pink Keeler anguishly languishes at 1.

Brian, sadly not the red version, but I did pick up the pink last week.

To make myself feel better, I like to think of my Keeler pink card as a red background version that got faded by too many hours of direct sunlight.

After "completing" the Monster (518) and 3 cards away from finishing my T205 set (missing Gray with Stats, Wilhelm Suffered, and Wagner Boston and passing on the Cycle Mathewson and the rare Holbliztell), I decided to wade into the Kraken pond....

I'm starting with just HOF'ers for now...my number is 11...not sure if I will go for the set, but I said that with the other two as well...lol

Great thread!!!

Welcome John...like T206 and T205, E90-1 is another infectious card collecting disease that you might spend several fun years trying to cure. You have made the list, and I expect to see you rise up on it over time.

Hi Riggs336, my Miller does not have a splotch of red that a good Miller variant like yours does, so I have decided on a firm policy that states "just the orange sky only Miller is perfectly fine for my collection." And for you, missing only the Jackson and a Wagner, sounds like a perfectly fine place to say "My Kraken is complete."

And John, enjoy the hunting and gathering, no matter how fast or slow the progress.

Brian
