Collecting beautiful yet off the beaten track prewar sets

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.

I am up to about 7 of them and who knows how many different there are? I know I will probably never complete ? the set but it's fun accumulating them....

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.

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.

This is my only Middy Bread card. These are tough to find. I would enjoy seeing scans of any others.

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.

Here's my favorite example, Hogan (Vernon) in the common brown sepia background, and a rarer olive background version as well:



Here's a link to all 12 catcher cards:

Up to 8 Leader Novelty cards, but don't know if I'll get much farther. Here's another Middy & Kut Out:
