Hi Todd--the strange numbering of the Zeenut listings in the Beckett book is the result of the cards being alphabetically grouped by team, and then the players are alphabetalized within their teams. For example, all the Los Angeles players would be listed first, in alphabetical order, then Oakland in the same fashion, Sacramento, etc. This proves to be very helpful to the the team collector, which is a very popular way to collect Zeenuts.

Having said that, Beckett fails miserably by not providing helpful information at the beginning of each year's listing, such as "cards 1-16 Los Angeles, 17-30 Oakland...", like I believe they do for the Obak issues. I guess that would have taken too much room away from the 2001 Upper Deck Platinum Blaster Game Used Jockstrap Insert cards.
