They did put cards in with dog food though! (Or at least with dog treats.)

Haha! I almost posted that set. I have the Larkin.

But here's my favorite dog food issue, even though it doesn't fit the time frame of this board:

Here is a complete set of 20 Milk Bone Super Stars, the card packs were issued in certain Milk Bone Biscuts boxes

In general, for player specific collectors, are food issued cards as desirable to collect as their mainstream cards? I know some of the 50's issues are seen as highly desirable, but no sure if this trend carries over to the 80's + onward food issues

In general, food issues are printed in large quantities and are are of relatively low value. There are a few exceptions (like Larkin's 1987 Kahn's), but most are not as desirable as the mainstream cards. But for a player collector like myself, eventually you start running out of mainstream cards to collect, so snatching up food issue and other "oddball" cards becomes necessary.
