I used to be an odd ball card collector, and that mean collecting some odd items, ranging from test issues to off beat products to regional issues. Except that the collection was strictly Post WWII, this would definitely have fit in my odd ball collection. And there are many odd ball collectors out there (double entendre noticed but not intended).
If you look at them as newspaper comic strip graphics for little kids, the strip cards have quaint aesthetic appeal. If you expect them to be like T206s or T3s you'll be disappointed. People regularly pick the 1941-3 MP & Co. cards as ugly, but I always consider them as comic strip like art for kids and they they have aesthetic appeal from that perspective. And as I say about aesthetic expectations and perspective, "If you go into an Arnold Schwarzenegger movie expecting it to be like Citizen Kane, that's your fault not the movie's."
