Dustin, I like your regional / food issue pick-ups. These kind of cards, discs, coins, premiums make for a marvelous type card collection. Each is a nifty conversation piece, which is really is a theme I bring out in my lengthy E-book on a CD about the subject, NEVER CHEAPER BY THE DOZEN.
A problem today is that collecting one or two complete sets of these kind of cards can consume an enormous amount of time and money, depending on the grade of item you must have, and if you go all the way and have the items professionally-graded by PSA / SGC. Thus doing makes your collection infinitely more marketable when the time comes to sell, or sad to say, if we succumb before we though we would.
Thanks for sharing your joy, bro!
