Zeenut cards of players with major league experience (and only one Zeenut issued)

[philliesphan]

I love this list, Brian.

Wish Zeenuts would get more love and airtime over here. One of the coolest run of cards in the hobby

I made this scan in 2013, apparently not for this thread. I don't know what it means other than it's probably time for a new laptop.

I'm glad there is at least one out there who took my advice and printed/framed this list.

My best guess at the usefulness of this list is that, if looking to collect a certain MLB player and you find him on this list, you would know that he had no other Zeenut cards issued, so you better snag it if one were to pop up for sale, because no other Zeenut cards were issued of that player.

In a recent thread a fellow collector was looking for some Zeenut information about New York Yankee players that have Zeenut cards. Though the list at the top of thread doesn't really address what he is looking for, it definitely can be used as a start (with some dedicated digging).

I have a whole bunch of various Zeenuts, various years. I don't have a single one from the list...it figures.

There are 1100 or so additional players with the Major Leagues on their resumes that have Zeenut cards available from more than one set, so unless the world is an extraordinarily cruel and heartless place, I assume you have at least some of those fellows.

There are so many ways to collect Zs. As always, I like the ads on back..

[brianp-beme]

Leon is correct about the many ways to collect Zeenuts. Here are some with fun stuff written on the back.

And an appropriate final entry: Do not steal this card for fear the gallows will be your end (complete with drawing of unfortunate stick figure hanging from the gallows)

Oh yes, I do have some of them, players and managers and coaches. This is a pretty cool thing you've done here, sir. Very interesting.
