Your opinion on these zeenuts and t210s

[lug-nut]

so i've always liked the T210 Morris and Zeenut McCarl and the Leard and Benny are kinda comical...my buddy knew the grand-niece of morris and wants one as well, i told him to get in line

before i put any of these on my 25 card collection list...

1. how many exist if known?
2. what are my chances of obtaining any?
3. are values for grades 4 and below doable?

and let's say money wasn't an object but i can't afford the high end graded
(sorry if these are your, i stole these images from the internet)

These cards do not come up very often and usually when they do they are in a lot format and rarely as a single card sale. They are affordable for the most part and usually in very rough condition. The Z'S are very hard to find with the coupon still attached. Finding these cards in above a 4 grade is next to impossible.

Hope this helps

I have owned two copies of the Morris -I think your scan is one I used to own - it is a popular card but it does appear for sale from time to time.

well at least they are somewhat affordable, i dont have any as of yet but thinking about adding one of the horizontals

As for the Morris I have seen two for sale in about 4 years personally.Lucky enough to obtain the one in your scan I believe.Thanks again Chris!

"Benny, SGC 30, went for $600 yesterday on ebay"
"that Benny was a heartbreaker last night"

more than usual? great deal? I figured it would have been more, someone with B**O won it, i'd change my user id

similar prices for the other?

nice card.....neat cards in the original post

I've seen a few of the zeenut horizontals over the year. McCarl and Halla I've seen the most often. Cartwright from the z14 set is a bit tougher. Baker from the z12 set is the toughest I've seen of the four and I've only seen one of it.

I think I've seen a couple of the t210 Morris cards and owned the one shown above in the scan. I think I got it from Chris in fact :) I saw one other one made available about the same time I sold mine a few years ago. Don't think I've seen a Morris since though...

I think the price you saw on the Benny last night is quite indicative of the premiums involved on some the cards were discussing here so that price seems about right to me. Maybe a bit less for McCarl, Cartwright and leard. But horizontals like the Halla have been significantly more ...

while i was doing a search for the zeenut mccarl, i came across this post...

i was able to trade for the t210 benny shortly after it sold on ebay... i know a couple of guys here need him but i'll only trade for something i really need on my short list
