1918 red border Zee-Nut cards????

Posted By: Frank Wakefield

I have about 90 Zee-Nut cards. A couple of HOFers, no cards with coupons. Most are rough, a few are nice. As I contemplate trying to get at least one of each year, I wonder about the 1918 red border Zee-Nut cards. The guides don't list them as being outrageously expensive, but I hardly ever see one for sale (I know one is on eBay now, which is what provoked me to list this). And if I see one for sale, they are quite expensive.

So what's the deal? Do the guides underprice them? How's a fellow to buy a worn, common 1918 Zee-Nut???


As I attempt to educate the world on many matters, one item is the fact that the name of these little rascals is "Zee-Nut". Not Zeenut or Zeenuts or Zee-nut or anything else. Look at how it's spelled on the card. No one seems capable of using the correct name... And I'm incapable of educating them, nor can I learn to quit trying to educate.

Thanks,
