Rare Dazzy Vance Card Found
Sharing this article I saw this morning about a 1919 Zee-nut Dazzy Vance that will be going up for auction in April. His family owned the card and it comes complete with the coupon

What exactly was/is Zee-nut (or Zeenuts?)?? I know the cards feature PCL players, so they must be from out here on the west coast, but I really can't find any info on where they came from. Were they put in packages of nuts, or something else? Any insight would be appreciated.

Casey Stengel Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s. Overpaying yesterday is simply underpaying tomorrow.

Definitely a candy, though I have never heard of anyone finding a wrapper. Because of no wrapper, my personal theory is that it came on a big tray, and was placed in an envelope when you bought it, and you where handed a card. The cards don't seem to have any candy stains, like 1914 CJs, so I think it is very possible. As good a theory as any, I guess.
