I also love old cricket cards.
Glad to see I'm not the only teenager here.

Great to see a young enthusiast interested in Zeenuts. It will be a challenge, both geographic and financial, but if you are determined you can build a good sized collection. I started collecting the Zeenuts when I was 9 years old, more than 50 years ago, and still enjoy seeing original groups turn up. Sadly though, only a few of the original collectors (that bought the candy) are remaining. One of the best experiences was talking with literally hundreds of those guys about their experiences, and about the players... some of whom I was able to meet many years back... Good luck
