Modern food issues!

[Zach Wheat]

In general, for player specific collectors, are food issued cards as desirable to collect as their mainstream cards? I know some of the 50's issues are seen as highly desirable, but no sure if this trend carries over to the 80's + onward food issues

In general, food issues are printed in large quantities and are are of relatively low value. There are a few exceptions (like Larkin's 1987 Kahn's), but most are not as desirable as the mainstream cards. But for a player collector like myself, eventually you start running out of mainstream cards to collect, so snatching up food issue and other "oddball" cards becomes necessary.
