Cancelled/redeemed 1912 Zeenuts & 1912 HRKs

[packs]

Those are really cool. What were the premiums you could redeem them for?

Packs,

I haven't seen any literature showing the premiums or prizes yet. I'm sure there must be a coupon or newspaper article that gives the details. Maybe one of the PCL experts can add to the discussion.

You would think there would be some floating around with the amount of Zeenuts that have survived. I'm familiar with the Obak and Fatima premiuims but have never seen a Zeenut or HRK. Unless you redeemed the baseball players for a non-sports/baseball related premium. Intersting that the card backs note how "valuable" the premiums are.

In the interlude before an authoritative response from Mark Macrae, my recollection is that the zeenut premiums were not bigger cards (like the obaks) but such valuable items as baseball,gloves or toys.

Not exactly on your topic, but I have to say WOW! those are beautiful cards! The brown background makes them pop, I don't think I've ever seen many in the same place like that post. In that context they sure are sharp looking!

Gary,

Here is my catcher pose run of cards for the 1912 Zeenut set. I'm looking to pick up just Claude Berry now.

I haven't been able to find anything on the premiums or prizes.

I did find a May 11 1912 ad
