I'm not a Hostess expert, but do love the cards. I remember a lot of Twinkies and Cupcakes in the house over the summer. The cards were issued on a variety of different products, including individual cards on single serve products. While the difference between the box cards and individual cards is noticeable (different card stock), the difference in your cards could be the product they were printed on. In 1976, the cards also were printed in black or brown on the back. The proof with Brooks Robinson is easy to answer. Lee May was originally going to be printed as with Houston Astros, but Hostess changed his card after the trade to the Orioles. 1975 Hostess Proof of Lee May s-l1600.jpg |

Day #2 of the post of my 1983 World Series baseballs will highlight the Orioles outfielders. It's interesting to note how rosters have changed since 1983. The Orioles roster had 9 outfielders and 9 pitchers for the series. Today, teams often carry 12-13 pitchers and place a premium on bench players that can play infield and outfield.
1983 World Series Outfielders Al Bumbry, Gary Roenicke, Benny Ayala, Dan Ford, Jim Dwyer, John Lowenstein, Ken Singleton, Tito Landrum, John Shelby 1984 Roberta Howard Hand Painted Baseball (Al Bumbry).jpg 1984 Roberta Howard Hand Painted Baseball (Gary Roenicke).jpg 1984 Roberta Howard Hand Painted Baseball (Benny Ayala).JPG 1984 Roberta Howard Hand Painted Baseball (Dan Ford).JPG 1984 Roberta Howard Hand Painted Baseball (Jim Dwyer).JPG 1984 Roberta Howard Hand Painted Baseball (John Lowenstein).jpg 1984 Roberta Howard Hand Painted Baseball (Ken Singleton).JPG 1984 Roberta Howard Hand Painted Baseball (Tito Landrum).JPG 1984 Roberta Howard Hand Painted Baseball (John Shelby).jpg Mark, At one point I was considering getting the baseball autographed. At that time, I had small kids and living in Maine, leaving not much access to get autographs at spring training or regular season games. Once a few players passed away, I decided to have none of them autographed rather than mix and match. |

Got my signed cards back today. 9 day turnaround time! Brooks signed a baseball for me as a 12 year old boy in 1984 at an old timers game in Indianapolis right after the Hoosier Dome opened up and before the Colts moved to Indy. I still have the ball on display. One of my favorites of all time for that reason alone!

They looks very nice! Think you made the right decision on the autographs. Would be tough to see both the art and auto at the same time anyway. |
