New to zeenut cards

Connect with Mark Macrae on here. He has a vast knowledge of Zeenuts and the PCL and probably owns more than any person in the country. He knows everything about ZeeNuts he will know.

I believe Mark is member ID: oaks1912.
(But he certainly doesn't look to be approaching his 113th birthday.)

Oh boy, now you're in for it. Welcome to the T206 of the PCL. I've been following the cards since the 1980s. There are so many ways to collect Zeenuts, you're gonna have so much fun. You might want to search online for checklists. In 1929-30, the keys are HOFers Gomez, Lombardi, Nevers (football HOF), and popular guys and PCL legends like Buzz Arlett, Ox Eckhardt, Prince Henry Oana, Jimmy Reese, and many, many MLB players like Frank Crosetti, Bob Johnson, etc. As someone else noted, the coupon cards are highly prized; probably 99% of the cards do not have the coupons. if you see a famous last name on a Zeenut, odds are it is one, or his brother, cousin, son, uncle, etc.

And a card

Elm, I just read in the paper this morning that a Brazilian nun is now the world's oldest person at 116, eclipsing a 115 year Japanese woman.
I don't fancy my chances.
