Notes: Blank-backed. Zeenuts put out yearly sets of baseball cards featuring players from the Pacific Coast League from 1911 through 1938. In their 1919 set, they included a card of the owner of the Vernon club, which happened to be movie superstar Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle. This very special card features comedian Arbuckle about to take a bite out of a baseball. One of the Arbuckle Zeenut cards sold in an Ebay auction in 2026 for over $22,000.
There was a coupon attached to the bottom of Zeenut cards when they were issued, but most surviving Zeenut cards are found with the coupon cut off.
The checklist below includes only the card for "Fatty" Arbuckle, since he is the only film star in the set.
Date info: Cards from this set contain a 1919 date on the card.
