Found a few of my boxes. The factory thing actually is on some 1979 boxes.


Suzy Qs and Twinkies. But not on Big Wheels.

And some adds to the list all 1979

Suzy Qs 40,41,42

Big Wheels 91,92,93
97,98,99

More when I find some other boxes I'm pretty sure are around somewhere.

I've been collecting these, but the "Twinkies" (single card) set. Talk about a brain buster. The 1977 set is one of the most confusing I've ever seen (outside of Wiffle Ball).

There are I think four different styles/sizes of full panels. The Twinkies, the cupcakes, the Snoballs and the King Dons. Some cards seem to come in two versions while most come in just one form.

This one will drive me nuts for a while.

Many share in this feeling. Hopefully having this list and adding to it a little at a time will make it easier for collectors down the road.
