Player Collectors: do you collect Broders cards?

I'm looking through my Will Clark binder and came across a bunch of "Broder" and other unlicensed cards from the late 80s and early 90s. I know that many collectors don't consider these "real" cards and say they have no value. While I don't disagree in theory, some of them are incredibly difficult to find. While I haven't paid a lot of money for any of them, I'm sure I've paid eight or nine bucks for some of the more difficult Will Clarks. I'm curious if any other collectors of late 80s star players are searching out Broder cards.
They might not be "valuable" in the sense that we normally use. They are, however, an interesting part of the hobby from that era, and they can be quite difficult to find.
Here are a few of my Broder Will Clarks. You probably remember these cards if you went to any baseball card show from about 1989-1991. The first was actually issued in 1986, one of the few Will Clark items issued that year. I'm pretty sure that's the one that cost me the most, probably about nine bucks several years ago.
