Card Manufacturer: Hostess
Card Set: Hostess Baseball
Year:1976
Card Number: 11
Card Type: Full Box
Unlike my 1975 Hostess King Dons box that was never used, this 1976 Twinkies boxes definitely was. Who knows if this whole box was purchased and taken home or if it sat up by the counter at some convenience store to entice shoppers with an impulse buy. Since there is a box price on the box it was probably sold whole. Luckily someone had the foresight to save the whole box.
Yount shares this box with Tony Olivia, who retired after the 1976 season, and Rick Manning, who would later join the Brewers team in 1983. Rick also happens to be a great TTMer if you're into that like me.
Here's a close up of the panel. Other than the box having been opened, it's really not in bad shape and the cards are as close to mint as you can probably get.
There's so much to like about that box, I don't even know where to start!
