The
1977 Hostess baseball card set consist of 150 cards. The hand cut cards
measure approximately 2 1/4" x 3 1/4" and the 3 card
panels measure approximately 3 1/4" by 7
1/4". The cards were made available,
printed in three card panels, on the bottom of specially marked
family size
boxes of Hostess snack cakes such as King Dongs, Cup Cakes, and
Twinkies. There is also a variation set that was only available in
one card Twinkie 2 cake packages. The Twinkie cards are
distinguished by the thick printing bar printed on the
card backs just below the statistics. Twinkie card
singles are commonly found with cake stains, and are
otherwise the same. A baseball card album to hold the
cards was also issued.
