Posted By: <b>Patrick McMenemy</b><p>I have been putting together a library of images for the 1911 Zeenut set. <br /><br />In addition, I have created a matrix/checklist listing each player, their team, positions, and their pose in the set. <br /><br />Since most checklists fail to include the players first name, I need confirmation that my understanding of the 3 different "Ryan" cards is correct for the 1911 Zeenut set.<br /><br />There are 2 different players with the name Ryan in the set. One played for Portland, and the other played for San Francisco. <br /><br />I believe the Ryan, who played outfield for Portland is John "Buddy" Ryan. Whereas, the second player was Walter Ryan, a catcher for San Francisco.<br /><br />Buddy has 2 cards in the set. One with a standard design, and a second card with a atypical design commonly referred to as "the name in box" variety. <br /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1142747288.JPG"> <img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1142747351.JPG"> <img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1142746977.JPG"> <br /><br />I'd appreciate it if one of our Pacific Coast experts can verify that my identification of these 2 players is correct.<br /><br />Thanks, <br /><br />Patrick
