Also want to add that IMO the Zeenut series is akin to the N172 Old Judge series due to size and breadth of the set. Most collectors I know of the series (myself included) are far more interested in “eye appeal” than technical grades. I would take a clean front example with writing or damage to the otherwise usually blank back over a card with creasing or heavy wear to the front image despite the probable lower technical grade of the card with writing/damage.
My collection of Zee’s now numbers north of 3,000 cards and the reality of having that many graded cards from one series would necessitate a new wing on my house… thus (for me) ungraded is preferable. I am sure that sentiment will be lost over the years, however.
