Default exhibit mystery

Posted By: brian p

The 1931 Reese Zeenut card has been inaccurately listed in the SCD guide for years as Jimmie Reese. Glad to hear it has been changed to Andy.

Despite its problems, the SCD guide is hands down the best and most thorough catalog for the vintage bb market. However, the Beckett guide does have a much better Zeenut listing as it gives both first and last names for 98% of the Zeenut run of cards, which I believe (could be wrong) were derived from Don MacPherson and Buck Barker's countless years of research. You do have to search within each years listings, however, as they are alphabetized within the year by team; for example A-Z players for the Los Angeles team, then A-Z for Oakland, etc. Even if you know what team the player played for, you still have to scurry your eyes over the listing, as these team groupings are not identified. Not ideal, but at least the information is there.
