1911 Zeenuts - Who's collecting this set and how far along are you?

Good question. I suppose I would consider the Halla to be more of a "circumstancial toughie" rather than a card that is truly scarce. I know of a few set collectors that already have this card and then I also know 3-4 people who have it that aren't going after the set. No one really wants to part with it since it's a neat pose and while we all acknowledge there would be a premium for this card...the question is "how much?". Since one hasn't been made available for a while, there's no real benchmark for it. But yes, like TBob was saying, the horizontal pose makes the Halla popular and people don't really want to part with it, however it is out there. It's sort of like the Weaver and the Miller cards. These are all cards that are out there in circulation, yet are tougher to come by because of one reason or another because people find something about these particular cards that make them want to hang on to them.

If that makes sense at all....

On a sidenote, I expected a little more activity on this thread. Are people really not collecting this set too much right now? A few months back, there was quite a fervor over these cards and it seemed like half the board was going after this issue....
