Twinkie cards were released in 1975, 1976 and 1977 and there's a black stripe on the back running above and below the player's stats.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06161762602291616465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6433941530167569659.post-75033876233336620472012-08-21T11:13:32.952-04:002012-08-21T11:13:32.952-04:00By the way, what is the difference between Hostess...By the way, what is the difference between Hostess cards and Twinkies cards? (Besides that presumably Hostess cards were on Hostess products other than Twinkies, of course.) I have seen references to both, and I probably have some of each in my small pile of such cards, but I have no idea which is which.Steve F.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00753488569249068229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6433941530167569659.post-59406239722365126912012-08-21T11:10:14.529-04:002012-08-21T11:10:14.529-04:00Dang--I went last night and hadn't read your d...Dang--I went last night and hadn't read your dollar dog advice. And I bought hot dogs for my Mom, Dad and one of my daughters that tasted like they were prepared at the Vet! I feel like a bad son/father.<br /><br />But I now know for next time (September 11 versus Miami), so thanks for the reminder.<br /><br />P.S. No photocard set #2.1 yet. One of the vendors said he expected it in September but he wasn't sure. And he pointed out that they'd probably pull Victorino and Pence from it at that time, so get it now if you don't have the second set.Steve F.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00753488569249068229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6433941530167569659.post-55081125109182144872012-08-20T22:34:42.749-04:002012-08-20T22:34:42.749-04:00Pete Rose - "baseball's first $100,000 si...Pete Rose - "baseball's first $100,000 singles hitter"Jim from Downingtownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01537007940455183397noreply@blogger.com
