Posted By: <b>tbob</b><p>Most of the sets I have collected/am collecting are mainstream sets like T205, 206, 207, 212 etc. in the tobacco sets and E90-1 through E98 in the caramels but I am collecting the Pacific Coast Biscuit D311s and wondered if anyone else is collecting these or which other "quiet" pre-war sets are being collected by collectors here.

Posted By: <b>warshawlaw</b><p>J/K<br /><br />I'm collecting many regionals, minors, oversized and obscure issues, including quite a few postwar cards. Off the top of my head: Zeenuts, Exhibits, Bell Brand, Morrell Meats, Callahan HOF, Kelloggs, Signal Oil, various W cards. The mainstream N-E-T cards are becoming too expensive to be fun anymore, at least for me.

Posted By: <b>Paul</b><p>David, can you post some of your Middy Bread cards? I don't think I've ever seen any real ones. I'd love to see some of the HOFers and Ernie Nevers.

Posted By: <b>Patrick McMenemy</b><p>Over the past year, I acquired all twelve of the catcher cards in the 1911 Zeenut set. I love the size, color, and print styles in the set. <br /><br />Here's my favorite example, Hogan (Vernon) in the common brown sepia background, and a rarer olive background version as well:<br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1136060304.JPG"> <img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1136060430.JPG"> <br /><br />Here's a link to all 12 catcher cards:<br /><br /><a href="http://mysite.verizon.net/vzeqzw1e/thevintagecatcher/" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://mysite.verizon.net/vzeqzw1e/thevintagecatcher/</a>

Posted By: <b>Glen V</b><p>Up to 8 Leader Novelty cards, but don't know if I'll get much farther. Here's another Middy & Kut Out:<br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1136416154.JPG"> <br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1136416206.JPG">
