1803 Hoelke, 2624.6 world record are ones which I think we have yet to see the best from.

1103 Zaychkowsky is a quality seed! One of my best plants.

I think a lot of the Terry seeds are under rated because they are grown the south. I mean 1400 to 1700 lbs in 100 degree weather is impressive to me.

There are a bunch of 2145 x self McMullens out there that have huge potential but won’t see much dirt because the weights weren’t considered world class.

I think Jay is right, one of those 2145's is going to be planted by a heavy hitter and really surprise everyone.

The 2059 Daletas should be planted more. That family tree is stacked with great genetics.

We grew one this year next to a 2145 McMullen, and it was equally good. We had a little trouble getting a fruit to set, so we ended up keeping 2 side vine fruit that finished with a combined estimated weight over 1300lbs. By comparison, we lost half of our McMullen plant to blight when the pumpkin was nearing 30days, and it crawled to the finish line at 715.5lbs

I would pick my own 1007.5 Hodge (2096 Meier X 1730 Werner). Grew Joe Scherber a 410" fruit before a mouse took it out. I grew a 1247 on it here in 2017. The plant that grew my 1247 was much more agressive than the 2145 I had. I think she would of weighed a lot more had I not lost over half the plant in a wind storm around day 30 of fruit growth, plant went from 900 square feet to 400 overnight. I will be growing the 1007.5 again in 2018.
