What is up with 1975 Hostess panels

[darkhorse9]

I have been trying to complete this set for a couple years now and I'm short five panels. The panels number sequentially from 82-99.

I have scoured show floors and eBay for all this time and not a single one of these panels has ever popped up for sale. They're not listed as short prints, but clearly they are.

Two years, and not a single one up for sale?

Thanks, but I don't find that thread useful for two reasons
A) I already participated in that discussion
B) Is is completely unrelated to the topic I have here, other than it talks about Hostess cards.

I definitely remember shortprints back in 1975. Here's a PSA article you might not have seen:
