One could write a book on each of the sets, and still have more research to be done. Don't look into them too much because if you are a historian the set will suck you in and never let you go!

Wow, lots to wade through. I've been googling set names, following links, etc. It's very interesting to hear what makes each of these sets collectible to each of you. Some of them that I considered boring sound like they need another look.

Scott, knowing you live in Seattle the sets will mean even more to you as the Seattle team is represented from 1919 on. There are quite a few Seattle Zeenut collectors though and the competition can get pretty fierce on some of them.

I am by no means near completion or anything as I currently have a bit over 1,800 different or so but you can check out my ever-growing Zeenuts on my website...
