Thanks, Zach, top notch reporting on your post response. Bravo, bro.
The number of cards in the 1975 Hostess Twinkies set as 60 was what I thought I recalled, but could not definitely remember. You know, if you don't mind the stains, they would be a neat set to collect. There's something special about one free prize card to a purchase product; however, with the Twinkies, you were buying a pair of the Twinkies. With the box of Hostess, you were getting a bunch of the product, and three cards. Reminds me of the Bazooka baseball and football cards of the 60s -- 1971. Their first year of 1959 is an entirely different scenario, and much more rarely seen, today.
As some know, I really love those postwar regional / food cards, coins, and premiums.
'Nuf said. Thanks again, Zach. ---Brian Powell
