Oakes has always been a desirable pose. A Nadja back of this one.

Gorgeous card, Leon - I am mostly a lower-grade collector but this was actually a card I had planned to find in better condition. It's one of my favorite cards in the set. But for $30, I couldn't resist the urge to add it for now and upgrade later.

On kind of a mini E90-1 run this week. Picked up four more, including the Leach throwing for another six points and a bump up to 64.
Thanks

Please bump to 76 when you have time. Picked up a few of the tougher ones recently, including Karger, Joss Throwing, and this Keeler red background. Thanks!

Thanks - the more I looked for it, the more I thought it was tougher than the throwing/horizontal. I checked the pop reports today and, while that's not the only indication for rarity, noticed that it was in fact graded fewer times.
I settled for this one after a nicer AUTH sold for more. Happy to have it and the back is clean, which was a bonus!

Boosted by a pretty rare Howell wind up card, I’m at One Hundred Twenty Two.
Essentially half way on the Kraken but two thirds on the set itself. I’ll keep Cracking on the Kraken this summer.

Sometimes something common will spur activity
Here is Mr. Summers, probably one of the more commonly found subjects in the E90-1 set.

Actually, I don't see many e90-1s centered that nicely. Great looking card.

Howell Winding
Howling Winds or Howell Winding (up), no matter how you say it, this card is not common.

Small bump up to 82 for me. This trimmed Chief Bender from a pickup last week was my 70th card.

Nice new pick ups Brian and Cap. My Kraken number would be an 8 at this point so I can't really compare to your guys sets.

E90-1
Hi Brian
I picked up 5 commons and this crazy looking Jennings for my 2nd set. TED Z T206 Reference . |
#122
|
||||
|
||||
Hi Ted, looks like someone decided to do a little black and white repair on the damaged Jennings...I like it! With your pickups I have adjusted your current Kraken rating to 101 (let me know if the Jennings is a duplicate, and I will drop you down to 100, which is still an impressive century mark).
Brian |
#123
|

|

Hi Brian
Until a better one replaces it, this Jennings is part of the set. 101 sounds good to me, thanks. TED Z T206 Reference . |
#124

Hi Brian,
Just picked up a couple more so please boost me to the double digits with a 10. Thanks a lot man! AndyH

Plus 2
I picked up HOF George Davis and the No P version of Bransfield, so I’m seeking an update of +2 Krakens when our tally man gets the chance.
Fun set!

Re: Kraken
Picked up the Stahl from Steve S. So that leaves me needing Jackson, Keeler (throwing) McLean, Miller (no sunset), O'Connor, Sheckard, both Wagners and both Youngs. As usual, too lazy to do the calculation. Look forward to seeing all the E90-1 collectors next week in Cleveland-booth 1025/1029.

Brian,
Back on board... picked up Jeff Sweeney and George Mullin. 2 Points. Thanks

Welcome aboard Jason...it is always suggested to take the Kraken for a test spin before committing, and Mullin and Sweeney are fine choices.

Picked up a Keeler throwing for 3 more points so that gets me to 141. Now the fun really begins.

|

Picked up 8 cards at a recent auction.
4 Points for Plank, 1 each for the rest. 11 PTS + 2 PTS (2 existing E90-1's) = NOW 13 PTS total. Thanks

more Kraks
Another N54 deal nets me a boost my Kraken number:
The tough Karger and Keeler (throwing) plus some single pointers in H. Davis, Camnitz and Jordon will now post my score at 133. I'm feeling really good about having this many. I have over 3/4 of the set as defined by traditional methods and 53% of the more accurate Kraken score. Its going to start costing more to gain Kraken status...but its what the cool kids do

I was able to pick up a couple more recently as well. Please up me to the big 12 on my Kraken number. It's slow going, but still moving up at least.

Gibson (back view) gets me to 144. Insanely tough card.
|
#145
|
||||
|
||||
Congrats on the Gibson...one might argue that he and a few others could be worth more than 3 points, but I decided to keep them at this level because the hobby still has not fully recognized their relative scarcity.
Brian |
#146
|
||||
|
||||
Really? My seat of the pants observations doesn't have Gibson as a relative scarcity. I haven't studied the set as others have though.

Re: Kraken
The Gibson back view is a difficult card; just as difficult as the throwing poses of Leach and Wagner. I suspect each was a late issue replacement for respective batting and front view poses.

Been a while since my last update but please bump me to 91 as time allows. Picked up several new ones, including these five from Marc del Percio.
Up to 77 of the 121 now and getting harder to find these days. But I feel like I'm making decent progress.
