Food issues, because they are harder to find.

Topps because they seem more classic. (Note I collect 80s graded so it is all somewhat modern).

Tobacco's not a food?

I like the commerce of cards being given away with products.

That's how they began. Tobacco - cookies - gum - candy - cereal - snacks - ?

I think there is half the problem with today's cards - too much dollar value put on them - not enough fun value.

The obscure and hard to find, they are my favorites. This would mean mostly food or oddball issue cards.

Red Hearts.....don't really care for them. Now Red Mans....that's another story.

Have always been a fan of the food issues, especially the regional ones. (ie. '90 Score McDonalds, Mother's Cookies, etc.).

I agree that the harder to find ones are more fun to collect, though I will point out that some of the years of OPC are perhaps tougher than the easier food issues from the same era.

Canadian food issues because I grew up with them but never saved them. So I'm going back and collecting them now. Cereal, potato chips, snack cakes. All of them had cards growing up.

I agree. There is nothing better then Canadian food issues. The Kraft, cereal, and jello items are top notch in my book.
