It sure wasn't for me. I used to buy seeds from two seed firms in England,Thomas Etty and Suttons, and grew quite a few English ones, and I don't know exactly how I can explain the taste, but, well, it wasn't good for me at all.

Ha ha Carolyn! You are quite right that they probably are not worth waking up!
For me, it's the memories. My mother always grew them from plants that she bought from Woolworths. When I moved to Canada, she would send me seeds (Suttons) from Woolies. I didn't even know about OP seeds in those days!
One day, I had tasted tomatoes from some other varieties that I was growing, and I realized that Moneymaker didn't really taste all that great!!!!!
Anyway, it would be a fun experiment to revive my 20+ y.o. Moneymaker seeds - unless some of them actually make it {LOL}.
