Your loss.

Just wanted to add that the most desired/ most expensive cards are not the Hall of Famers.

the 1919 BlackSox players are big $$$
the Jimmy Claxton (1st black in 20th Century) is also a big $$ card
NFL HOFer Ernie Nevers sells for more than most of the HOFers too, same with the Fatty Arbuckle card

Frank, no mention of the Thorpe? He's Definitely among the top 3-4 Zeenuts made...

Nice thread and fantastic cards, guys! As a HOF collector, I'm kinda ashamed that I don't have any of them represented on a Zeenut. May have to change that someday. And glad to finally see a list of Zeenut Hofers, Phil! I've always been curious about that.

Here's my favorite...took a while to find it but was excited to get it in my hands.

Looks like most of the Zeenut HOFers have been posted. Darren the Cat and Rhett the Yeakley are the Studs of the Thread. Nary a one on Phil's list have I, so, because I've nothing better to do, I'll post a few Zeenutters who have a HOFer tie-in to their story.

Charlie Root - Cubs ace served up a famous home run
Dom DiMaggio - brother of Vince's other brother



Aaron Ward - on April 18, 1923 he got the very first Yankee base hit in the House that Ruth Built
Babe Dahlgren - his predecessor's predecessor was Wally Pipp
