I still collect the 1922 sepia variations (I have almost 60 of those in addition to the 162 cards in the set)...



I also was able to pick up 3 more of the 1923 sepia players. For those not familiar with the set... It is likley that the 1923 Zeenuts were not going to be ready for production in time so they made 24 cards where they simply redated the 1922 cards and distributed them with new dates on front. The later "regular" 1923 cards are all black and white with no sepia highlights and all the poses of the players were changed to their new 1923 poses. This is a notoriously very tough set to complete among Zeenut guys, with these 3 it brings me up to 16 of 24...
Cool Rhett! Way cool.
