1915 Zeenut Fred McMullen Pop Reports

[Leon]

Yes, that was the only full set of Western Playgrounds known at the time. It had an unknown player in it. Chad Drier (RIP) bought the set from me and I flew to his house in Santa Barbara to deliver them. It was low 6 figures. My wife wanted me to deposit the check before the plane trip back LOL...
That is when I found out you can't deposit a 6 figure check into an ATM..(at least at B of A at that time)

And looking back at the list, I guess my McMillen did have a coupon. I know it was beat up. Interestingly, I had Mark Macrae (hi Mark) on the phone as I was unpacking the piles of Zs sent in shrink wrap. Mark would tell me about each one as i pulled them from the stacks...with the McMillen one bringing a little excitement.

Tom,

I was a little surprised at the distribution between the TPGs (13 for SGC and 3 for PSA). My guess is that if someone purchased the card in a TPG holder, they probably didn't cross it over else we'd probably see more PSA graded cards. Good luck with the search.

I recently purchased this one, which was part of Buck Barker's collection with his notes on the back...it is rough but honestly IMO it has the most character of all the graded cards out there. I believe Mark Macrae once owned this one. Macrae is a legend in his own right as all Zeenut collectors know!
(for some reason my scanner does not scan Zeenuts very well)

If I recall correctly mine, with the tab, looked in about this same shape...
