1975 Hostess Rader

[savedfrommyspokes]

For me, the Yaz IF card was much tougher to find than the "Rader" card. Recently, I have seen consistent pricing between the Yaz IF and Rader cards. I did find both cards embedded in lots, the Rader by luck and the Yaz IF card knowingly.

My guess would be that 10-15 copies of each the Rader and Yaz IF come up for sale a year via EBAY based on my observations....some copies are listed as the specific variation while others are unknowingly embedded in lots, or as in the Yaz card unknowingly listed as a common.

Nice cards.

I am surprised this set and the Twinkies "Black Bar" subset has not received more attention. The Twinkies black bar set consists of only 60 of the 150 subjects.

Here is my corrected panel that I picked up a couple of years ago and had graded. PSA 5 is one of 3 in this grade with nothing higher. I had been searching for one of these for years.

All or nearly all of the corrected 1975 Hostess panels and cards of Doug Rader and Burt Hooton have the factory made crease/bend at the bottom from only being available on the smaller Ho Ho's boxes, I think that is why there aren't higher graded examples.

And that makes sense as to why the Rader (and Hooten) are both as tough as they are. The Yaz is another toughie that I realize I got lucky on.

Does anyone know if the 1975 Hostess set of 150 contains the brown ink variations? Or are they only in the 1975 Twinkies set of 60?

The Twinkies set did not have the brown variation. That occurred only in the full box set.
