Offered is a complete run of the popular Hostess baseball card sets in the form of un-cut panels. For a five year period (1975-79) young collectors were treated to three baseball cards issued as an integral part of the outer package of various Hostess snack products. These cards were very susceptible to creases product stains and surface scratches. This presentation is filled with many top names and Hall of Fame players of the era (many on multiple cards) including Hank Aaron Johnny Bench George Brett Rod Carew Steve Carlton Gary Carter Ron Cey Reggie Jackson Tommy John Willie McCovey George Morgan Thurman Munson Jim Palmer Jim Rice Pete Rose Nolan Ryan Mike Schmidt Tom Seaver Willie Stargell Don Sutton Dave Winfield Carl Yastrzemski Robin Yount plus many many others. With few exceptions each panel retains the full dotted line supplied to separate the cards from the package. This collection includes: 1975 Hostess - complete set of 150 cards on 50 3-card panels Grades average NM with only a few lesser and many NM/MT; 1976 Hostess - complete set of 150 cards on 50 3-card panels Grades mostly NM-NM/MT with majority having toning lines on back from album display; 1977 Hostess - complete set of 150 cards on 50 3-card panels Grades mostly NM-NM/MT with all cards having toning lines on back from album display; 1978 Hostess - complete set of 150 cards on 50 3-card panels Grades NM-MT; 1979 Hostess - complete set of 150 cards on 50 3-card panels Grades mostly NM-NM/MT with majority having light toning lines on back from album display.
