How to Judge Pricing on Zeenuts WITH Coupon
 

As you know, only a very small number retain their coupons--especially in early years, and the pop reports and VCP don't generally separate them out--and with very few sales of such in past to look for this seems to be one of the toughest values to set or guess at for a Zeenut from the first decade WITH coupon attached, even those graded. Except for a few Hall of Famers. Any sources out there to gain any insight at all?

Greg-

You can shoot me an e-mail (mschoenen@gmail.com). There is not really a good rule of thumb on this, unfortunately, but I've been closely tracking tabbed Zeenut prices for the past 7-8 years, so may be able to be of assistance if you have examples you're trying to value-

I don't know of pricing sources for Zs with coupons, but somewhere in the ballpark of 10x-20x the value of one without, would be my semi educated guess. So if you have a nice common 1913 without coupon it might be $30- $40......One with a coupon will be between 10x-20x as much, and probably somewhere in the middle. That is my guess at the pricing. I have owned quite a few before.....(more than a hundred with coupons)

Picked up my first Zeenut with coupon tonight and saw this thread--surprised that I started it 5 years ago! Anyway, here is the card, only one with coupon ever graded (and only one other, at SGC, without). I'm guessing I got fluke bargain but wonder what anyone may estimate actual value?

Great Zeenut. Their prices can swing a little but I would peg that one at about 400-500.....just an educated guess....your mileage may vary....

I concur with Leon....my only Zeenut with an intact Coupon was selling for $400 several years ago.

I bought two from leon will never sell ,,got good deals on both.

I paid $475 for this. It was on eBay for awhile, the BIN price kept getting lower but not low enough, then it was offered as an auction and I was the only bidder (as I recall...this was over a year ago and the listing is no longer up).

Which probably means I paid too much, since there wasn't a lot of competition for the card. Sometimes you just get tired of watching a card for years and decide it's time to buy it or stop watching it.

But I like Zeenuts with coupons and 1918 is a tough year. And it is always a plus for me when a Zeenut pictures not only a former (or soon-to-be) major leaguer but an interesting player. Crandall is "eligible" for many threads: good hitting pitchers, pitchers who played other positions, PCL Hall of Famers, 300 game winners (majors and minors combined).

Nice Michael, that's a rare one. Here's my only coupon, BST pick-up.

Thanks, I really like your 1915. I have one 1915 with tab which I am sure I paid too much for. And I need to look at BST more often!

Love the red borders on those.

Here are the ones from my first collection. I don't own them any longer. It was fun doing the run...

Those are great, Leon. In my mind, I am working on a Zeenut run with tabs but in actuality, I only have tabbed cards from six different years (plus some pre-tabbed cards from 1911 and 1912).
