It had a sticker on it once because there is no indentation for a badge near the top of the sideplate and Cardinal 4 near the bottom. The other is an early one that I had overlooked that says "ABU SWEDEN" in large letters on the bottom of the foot. I just found one with no number on the foot which means that it's probably had the body replaced. I now have 25 different Zebco Cardinals and I think I only lack one (maybe two). Your accredited history should count for something.Īltogether I have 137 because I was going to keep five of them but now it's seven thanks to Jean-Paul and his very timely question. I've sent $1.000 worldwide for the last 7-8 years not counting the remaining $4.35 and now suddently I'm not reliable anymore!? It's things like this that makes people dislike PayPal. Will have to get PP verified to circomvent this annoying limit that makes no sense at all. using up almost all my remaining Paypal sending limit to do so.

PS: I became a true ORCA'n early this morning. Will mail you about the other Zebco Cardinal's I've got not to disturb Jean-Paul and others in here with trivialities 3 has a non cone-shaped bail end towards the line roller - otherwise the 1. The first Card.33's indeed had the 75xxxx foot no, so I recon the Zebco equivalent also did, but not sure at all. Also, the foot# should read something like 75xxxx I would think, if marking them is done logically. has the cone-shaped line roller extension at the line guide end into which the bail is inserted (hard to explain, I hope you understand). According to Ben's supplement book it's the third and last version, so I lack the first two versions. the "Zebco Cardinal 3" text in black lettering. My one and only Zebco Card.3 is the one with the rectangular silver coloured label on it w. One of my friends have (or had?) the early Cardinal 3 in that almost golden colour that he said he would trade with me for a ordinary green/creme coloured one, but now he can't find it, so I'm still looking. size Cardinal reels with the same foot number, both in the green/creme coloured 33/44/66/77 and in the later 54/55/57 line reels. You will end up in having one Card.3 reel from each make/date/batch ABU made them.Ĭlinton.

So for me to collect a reel the reel itself has to differ in some way from the others I've got and there the foot number is not 'enough' for me (so to speak). When that's said I will have to admit (but only to you gize) that I've got several C.55's as they come with different 'bail stops', as with and without the Garcia brand on them etc. I'll check the numbers on my tan Card.3 and let you know if the number is different from any of yours, J-P.

Unless of cause I only did collect one reel e.g. No I'm happy to say *ha-ha*! It would be much too expencive for me to collect reels that way.
