BobAbout 20 years ago one of my partners in the Southern Find (so-called by Mastro) of T213 Coupon cards, sold his entire personal collection to Larry. His name is John England and he used to own a card shop in Fort Smith, Arkansas over Vivian's Book Store on Greenwood (now both long gone alas). John kept his store inventory, although he eventually sold it also and quit to collect jazz records, but the great personal collection went to Larry for major bucks (at that time). At one time John had one of the most, if not the most extensive Zeenut collection ever compiled. I am assuming that that may have been where all Larry's Zeenuts came from although they are mostly gone now. John also had complete runs of almost all major tobacco and caramel card sets. He began vigorously collecting back when almost no one else was.
