Lost cards/non existent cards

[prewarsports]

My brother once told me that all the 'ultra rarities' from the early Zeenut sets were framed in the home of an early collector who helped catalog the sets. When his family sold the collection this was lost in the transfer of ownership and believed to have been accidently tossed into the trash. This is supposedly why there are 10-12 Zeenut cards that are cataloged but can not be confirmed to exist. Maybe he will chime in and tell a better version of the story.

Adam Hats premiums from the 1930s are really tough and new subjects pop up. There were four baseball subjects known and then a fifth from a later series popped up.

T49s were pretty close. Until 2009-2011 the complete checklist wasn't known.
I had a small find that eventually filled out the checklist. It's a general set with just a handful or cards and only one baseball card.

I figured Burdick had most, and was very surprised to be told that he only had one example. As far as I know there's only one complete set.

No boxers unfortunately. Only 20 cards total Some are not sports, some are but are a bit unclear about what sport.
