Rhett - nice observation on the Seaton. I noticed something similar - it seemed to me that my Seaton is physically taller than several other z11s I held it up too. Almost as though it was cut to entirely different dimensions. I didn't really pay too much attention to that though because we all know how inconsistant Zeenuts are with their dimensions sometimes!

Patrick - like the Patterson...HUGE lettering! I think I have that one too with captions that size....

Barry - appreciate the kind words and support as always buddy!

If anyone wants to tackle a master set of 1911 Zeenuts, a word of friendly caution, there are a ton of subtle size differentials in this set, some cards have as many as 3 different sizes, a "small", "medium" and "large" pose variations. I thought that there weren't that many Zeenut collectors who were aware of some of the subtle changes but then I saw a "large" pose variation of a card on ebay about a couple of months ago in F-G condition which went for a ton and shocked most non-Zeenut fanatics because of the price at which it sold, so there are some astute collectors out there :-)

Eidted to say that the seller probably had no clue about the size of the pose as there wasn't any mention of it in the copy.

Tbob- you are absolutely correct in the font sizes. When I got the Trucker boy find there were over 100 1911 Z's. I ended up keeping examples of a large font, Weaver and a Halla.....These were new to the hobby and it was great seeing how they were collected. It is very interesting to see the different varieties. I called the fonts ....small, medium and large . Here are 2 showing the differences well

The font size is a new wrinkle as well. I think Bob was referring to the "pose". There are a number of Z11's where the same pose is sized differently the three ways. I know Ben is a collector who goes after the pose size variations. I don't, so it wasn't me.

Hey Steve
I guess I read into it what I was thinking .

Ok.....have ya' ever noticed those different font sizes? Man, are they wild or what?
