Last month I posted a video in the January 2021 Pickup thread showing a collection of 450+ Zeenut, Colgan’s Tin Tops, etc. cards in the original album. I have spent the better part of the past month removing the cards from that album and have made a new video showing the end result of the process.
For those that may have missed the original video I had made here is that video highlighting the Album as I received it (it is somewhat long at 36:00 minutes):

Through the process I was able to find out the original collector’s name was Bob Dunn and he lived in the Bay Area during the time these cards were originally being distributed. His collection follows the pattern of most youngsters with cards being in progressively better condition as he aged, thus, some of the 1921 cards were really well preserved.
Overall there were over 450 Zeenut cards in complete condition (not including those the Bob had trimmed or otherwise done surgery on.) There were also a dozen or so E270 Tin Tops and a few other fun items.
The new video I made highlighting the collection is REALLY LONG (just over 1 hour) so feel free to not watch the whole thing but I feel it is worth the view if you have the time! I also go into a bit of detail on how I was able to remove the cards and the other items from the album and the process I go through to not damage the cards as much as possible.

Let me know what you guys think here and in the comment section of the YouTube video, I would also appreciate any new subscribers on YouTube as well (shameless plug).
