The
1975 Hostess Twinkie baseball card set consist of 60 cards. The hand cut cards
measure approximately 2 1/2" x 3 1/2". The cards are a
partial set of the regular issued Hostess cards that were made
available at the bottom of specially marked
boxes of Hostess snack cakes. However the cards that appear on the
Twinkies product was printed with two black
printing bars on the back and have a separate checklist. Cards that
came with Twinkies 2-packs were single cards, unlike the other
Hostess products with 3 card panels which came on the bottom of
10-pack boxes. Twinkie card singles are commonly found with cake
stains. The
Twinkies cards are otherwise the same, and were limited to 60 cards
of the 150 printed. Numbers run consecutively to 36, then start
to jump from 40 through 136. There are also variations of cards that were printed
without a border around the photo, or black "cut along"
lines. A Baseball Card Album was also available. The album which had
pre cut slots to insert the corners of the card into also had a
checklist.
