Searching for my grandfather's baseball card
My grandfather, Wally Kimmick, played in the major league between 1919 to 1926 for St. Louis, Cincinnati, and Philadelphia. I'm trying to find his baseball card. I'm told he had a 1924 Zeenut card and a 1929 Zeenut card. I've been looking for years and was hoping someone in this forum might be able to help me. My 88 year old mother (Wally's daughter) has never seen his baseball card so it would be amazing for my family to find one. Thank-you!

I did a quick google search and found this image. I am not a zeenuts collector so I will let others comment but I think it's dang cool that your grandfather played Major League Baseball. Hopefully someone has a card of your grandfather that they will be willing to donate to the family or sell you.

There are a few listings on Ebay team photos where he is clearly identified.

Send me your address and I'll send this one out gratis. Not high grade but you can't beat the price. The card shown earlier in this thread is my personal copy from my website.

The OP originally contacted me at VCP and I directed him here. I knew with Z's basically never selling on eBay or auction one of you here would be able to help him out. I talked to him on the phone at length and glad he got taken care of....outstanding community.
