1977 Twinkies Jerry Morales

[JTysver]

So I picked up what appears to be a 1977 Twinkies Jerry Morales. The size is the same size as a single panel. It has too much white area around the card to be from a multi player panel. The size is roughly 3"x4".
But, unlike all of my other Twinkies, this has no black bars on it. Was his Twinkie card made this way or could this be something other than a Twinkie card?

Jay,

Do you have any pics?

I can't scan mine at the moment, but mine measures about 4.25 inches top to bottom and 4.75 inches left to right. I would say that yours got trimmed at some point, because if someone cut off three quarters of an inch along the right side it would eliminate the black bar that is on mine. I'm guessing that a previous owner sliced off three quarters of an inch from each side so that it would be the same size as the Twinkies cards. I believe Morales is one of the cards that was packaged with Suzy Q's, which is why it is so large. Mine is heavily stained and soaked from the Suzy Q's.

I'll post pics tonight.

This is the size that the Morales was originally distributed in the 1977 Hostess Suzy Q's package, the Buckner is from a regular Hostess Twinkies package for comparision. I believe your Morales was cut on each side by a previous owner so that it would be the same size as a Twinkie card. The 1977 Hostess single cards came in six different sizes (not my scan, borrowed it).
