Fun stuff, Mark!
Those regional/national food cards sure bring back memories. I remember getting some cool Yankees / Mets promotional items when I was much younger and before I was collecting. I don’t know if this was a regional or national promotion, but either a Pepsi, Coke or 7up had bottle caps with pics of ball players inside. Vague memories that they might have been only Yankees ... but maybe that’s the only ones I cared about at the time?
When I was collecting in the late 80s the only promotions I remember collecting were Burger King discs, Quaker Oats Granola cards, Bazooka bubble gum cards, and Drakes cake box bottoms.

I guess if I saved used tinfoil and used tea bags instead of old comic books and old baseball cards, the difference between a crazed hoarder and a savvy collector is in that inherent value.
