This catalog contains info on all 157 known globs in MW with some new potential candidates, and also objects formally known as MW globs, but disqualified for various reasons.
For most entries if you click on the name you will see more details and images (for some).
I am currently at 100 MW globs. There are a few more oddies on this list I could try to pull from my location, but for the rest need to go to the Southern hemisphere.
I am sitting on 85 MW globs and 7 M31 globs. The more southerly clusters have been blocked from the backyard due to construction, so I'll need to get to a spot with a better view. Hopefully by next summer the soup will have cleared up.

Thanks, Andrey!

Well I find 5 new to me on the list which are in 13-14 mag range and at least 10 deg above horizon on certain nights. Should be interesting.
