All mine are without! Seems difficult to find them with and a large premium added.

[tedzan]

Good seeing and chatting with you in Cleveland.

Yep, these cards with coupon are expensive; however, I acquired this one for a very reasonable price.

My one and only Zeenut, 1913 from the B/S/T a few years ago.

[philliesphan]

This is Al Wingo. He played six seasons in the majors: a cup of coffee with the Philadelphia A's in 1919 as a twenty-one year old, and then five seasons with the Tigers from 1924 to 1928. He hit a pretty astounding .308 over his MLB career. Largely due to his off-the-carts 1925 season, when he smashed .370, finishing 12th in MVP voting. Over 30% of his hits that year were for extra bases, and he was decent defensively, too. He led the league in double players turned by a left fielder (6). Many of you may recognize the name Wingo, but you're likely thinking of Al's older brother, Ivy, who had a pretty long and prosperous MLB career.

Amazingly, when Al hit .370 for the Tigers in 1925, he was the *worst* hitting outfielder on the Tigers squad. Heilmann and Cobb hit .393 and .378, respectively. I wonder if they gave him crap about that?

Al had a few decent seasons with the Seals. After 1925, his offensive production dropped off precipitously, although he hit well over .300 every year with the Seals.

Al was killed fifty years ago in a car accident.

Was very excited to add this one to my collection:

Sorry, no coupons in my collection. All clipped. I wonder if that makes me a coupon clipper after the fact. Oh, well on my way to the grocery store.

[basesareempty]

I wonder are they related to Tre Wingo of ESPN fame? Win go isn't exactly a household name.

Three of my favorite PCL players with coupon:

Some of my favorite couponed Zeenuts...

1933-36 Ox Eckhardt, one of the best PCL players of all time



1926 "Honest" Dickie Kerr, the best performer of the 1919 White Sox/Reds World Series for the Sox



1923 Johnny Frederick, also considered one of the greatest PCLers & also his "rookie" Zeenut

Couldn't resist sharing these two consignments that will be auctioned soon.

There is an '11 Buck from an original collection as well as the Halla card from the same one, the Trucker Boy find. There are also a couple Bancrofts and Mensor in there.....The mid teens to early twenties Zs are very tough to find with coupons. I think my last one to finish (I might need a sepia or two) was either 1920 or 1922, both very difficult with tabs.

What's the Trucker Boy Find? Another White Whale story I assume?
