I type this as a collector of Bazookas and Hostess cards and other regional issues. They have long had appeal for me as they are unusual and not everyone has one. Typically they have different photos.

I'd take a VG '56 Kahn's Frank Robinson over a PSA8 1957 Topps all day.

I am similar, I like the bazooka boxes and panels, and lots of the regional issues as well. I guess to some extent they are remaining relatively more affordable for those who enjoy them which is good.

The Garvey experience of the 71T and 72T is very similar to what I've seen for others like 1975 / 1976 George Brett, etc.
