Yeah. That's nuts isn't it? I will get to see all 125 of them in a couple of days.

I think we all agree that Rob has the ultimate collection but here are the break down by year and where the top three collectors of that year sit.

I feel 1998 and 2004 leaders will lead forever.

Seven years outright and three ties for Jonas. That is unbelievable! Great work. I can only imagine what your collection would look like if you had not stopped at 2002 for so long.

I am a little surprised I am only winning two years, but I always seem to be a contender...

wow looking at that list makes me think that my collection is pathetic nice work guys keep it up it gives me something to look forward to

Great list now how bout we all introduce ourselves to each other..here is a little about me...

My name is Kevin and I'm 40 years old.I live in Stroudsburg PA which is in NE PA along the border of NJ.I'm married with 3 "great" stepchildren.I'm a supervisor at a plastics recycling plant for the last 21 years.I've been collecting Juan since day 1 but my favorite team is the Bosox.It's great nowadays to be a Bosox fan in Yankee land.My collection mainly consist of cards through 2002 and a few of you have asked why just to 02.The reason is that is when I met my wife and the kids.Enough said as I'm sure family comes first for all of you also.OK enough about me let's hear from you...

Hey Kevin. Check out this old thread. It gives some of the stories of the members.

For you newer members, it is great to go back through the old threads and look at some of the stuff. Feel free to add in your two cents.

Fair warning! I'm attacking 2000 with a passion and expect to have over 80% this month. Then I'll work on 2001 as 80% is my goal in each year up till 2003. I chase a year at a time yet still watch for later years and purchase hard to get cards in prior years. I find that you need to get the higher price cards as they are near impossible to find in latter years. Yet commons and not so scarce cards become cheaper and fast collection fill in's. Going through all the stores and stuff is much easier when you go after a particular year.

Did you know that I believe the 2000 collection year did not have a signature card. First since 1995.

With part of Dan's collection added he has changed the yearly highs. With him adding to his count and Roberto to his I'm sure this will change again next month. Oddball counts were new to this list.
