There is nothing I like better than the food issue oddballs from the 70's and 80's. Most collectors know about the 3 card panels on the bottoms of Hostess bottoms from the 70's, but there are also the single card varieties to look for. I'm not sure if these were done with any other product other than Twinkies, but Robin has a card in at least 3 years, 1975, 1976, and 1977. I've already featured the 1975 card here.
Ah the good old grease stains. These card can be found unused. They're rare and go for a premium price, but for me I don't mind the grease stains and this card has held up well for being almost 40 years old. These cards are identical to the 3 panel box version.
Love those Hostess issues. BTW, mailed your program today, should be there Friday.
