Please update me to 457. It's slow progress at this stage, because a lot of what's left is kind of expensive. Like, you know - 3 Cobbs...
Got this one in the mail yesterday. It wasn't actually a new front for me, but at least it wasn't a back I had with him, and I like the color shift. |

Chasing the Monster
Today I reached 298. All SGC and PSA Graded. I realized that once you get this far along, that you discover that you have cards that you don't even remember purchasing. My goal is 400 by the end of 2018.

Annual Report - Year 6 less 4 days
Your long awaited Annual Monster Report has been completed this year 4 days ahead of schedule.
Thread Views continue to accelerate as they have since the beginning. In the first three years there were 110,000 views and in the last three years there were nearly 300,000. Earlier this month the 400,000 barrier was surpassed. With over 125,000 views in the past year, the thread should reach 500,000 views this year in September or October. The number of posts and new cards posted continue to decrease however, which is not a surprise. The total number of cards on the list though has also reached the 60,000 milestone with today's update bringing the total to 60,102. This six year experiment could not have been predicted. Who knows what it proves? Draw your own conclusions and have a Happy 7th Monster Number New Year.

Frank - seems I'm always going in the wrong direction.
Perhaps, some day that will change, but, for now...I'm letting my 2 Rubes go on EBAY this week, so please drop me down to a hard 9: (3) Cobbs; (2) Mattys; (2) Walters; one Cyclone and the honorable J. Ross Helms (because he played here that year). Thanks

For those who may have an interest, here are the other three cards I picked up today:

I’m now at two. My excuse is that it’s tough trying to find nicely centered (front and back) T206s.
