That's great to hear!
Imo, they are an underrated card/collectable.
I grabbed this Orr sometime ago and found out through a member here finding Orr or any of the others in 10's is rather difficult/rare.
Likely due to their size/shape, they aren't as desirable as regular cards and why they've never really taken off? But, then again, maybe some out there do have complete graded/raw sets?

I have a complete raw set.

I really like oddball cards like Dad’s Cookies. I have to imagine the print run was much more limited than the regular OPC/Topps sets but I could be wrong.

Well when you think about the market they were made for then it is
absolutely a lot smaller run then either of the two major releases.
I just purchased over 150 of the 1928-1934 LaPresse photos and
with them only being distributed in the province of Quebec you can
imagine how few are out there. And now that are 90+ years old.
They are really quite scarce.

I remember pulling these back in 70-71 in bags of Dad's cookies. I think I was pretty relentless with my parents to purchase these and the Esso power players by constantly asking my father if he needed gas?
Later it was the Loblaws sticker album and of course the stickers which I still have. (partial view upper left)

Picked up a very nice in person Ken Dryden auto at Sat. show.
