Inside the 1975-77 Hostess Twinkies Single Card Sets

August 24, 2021 By Gary Loxley

Hank Aaron 1975 Hostess Twinkies

Collectors are familiar with the Hostess Baseball Card promotion that ran from 1975-79.  In each of those five years, ITT Continental Baking Company, the parent company of Hostess at the time, issued a 150-card set of regular Hostess cards in three-card panels on the bottom of family-sized boxes of snack cakes.   Less familiar are the Hostess Twinkies … [Read more...] about Inside the 1975-77 Hostess Twinkies Single Card Sets

1975 Hostess Panels: Errors, Variations and Populations of the Debut Set

July 14, 2020 By Dr. Phil Garrou

Hostess CupCakes (yes, that’s how they spell it) have been around since 1919 and have been reported to be the first commercially produced cupcake in the U.S. Through the years many product varieties were developed around this theme altering flavors and shapes.  In the latter half of the 1970s, the company’s entire line of products became the home to an enormously popular … [Read more...] about 1975 Hostess Panels: Errors, Variations and Populations of the Debut Set

Lou Whitaker’s Earliest Cards as Tigers Great Awaits Hall Call

May 11, 2020 By Rich Mueller

From the late 1970s to the early 90s, you knew who would be playing second base for the Detroit Tigers.  Like the fellow prospect who occupied shortstop for about the same amount of time, he was a steady presence, whether the Tigers were really good, really bad or just average.  You could find Lou Whitaker baseball cards in packs of Topps cards every year, too.  … [Read more...] about Lou Whitaker’s Earliest Cards as Tigers Great Awaits Hall Call

Did You Know? 1975 Hostess Yaz Also Has Variation

February 14, 2018 By Rich Mueller

It may be hard to believe that an error made in a popular food issue set has gone undiscovered for over 40 years, but collector Phil Garrou reports on a significant variation of the Carl Yastrzemski card in the 1975 Hostess set that collectors should know about. Most Price guides like the Standard Catalog of Baseball Cards list three errors/variations what was the debut set … [Read more...] about Did You Know? 1975 Hostess Yaz Also Has Variation

Eddie Murray’s First Cards Go Beyond Topps Rookie

September 5, 2016 By Rich Mueller

At the time he hit his 500th home run on September 6, 1996, Eddie Murray was just the 15th player in history to reach the milestone.  Murray, though was more than just a power hitter.  He won three Silver Slugger Awards, three Gold Gloves and collected 3,255 hits in a career that lasted from 1977 to 1997.  Eddie Murray rookie cards began appearing in 1978 and unlike most … [Read more...] about Eddie Murray’s First Cards Go Beyond Topps Rookie

Five Thurman Munson Oddball Favorites

August 1, 2016 By Anson Whaley

In the 1970s, Thurman Munson was a fan favorite and All-Star catcher for the New York Yankees. Unfortunately, his life tragically ended on August 2, 1979.  A licensed pilot, Munson was practicing take-offs and landings with a new aircraft near his Ohio home when he crashed short of the runway and a fire broke out.  He was only 32. Munson baseball cards are … [Read more...] about Five Thurman Munson Oddball Favorites

Remembering Schmidt’s Titanic Single In 1974

June 12, 2016 By Bob D'Angelo

It might have been the highest — and certainly the hardest — hit single in major-league history. In the first inning of a June 10, 1974, game at the Houston Astrodome, Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Mike Schmidt stepped into a Claude Osteen fastball and sent it rocketing toward the center field seats. To the 9,487 fans in attendance, the Houston broadcasting team and … [Read more...] about Remembering Schmidt’s Titanic Single In 1974

Stargell Sampler: Pops’ Cards Span 3 Decades

May 25, 2016 By Bob D'Angelo

Willie Stargell 1975 Hostess

Late in his career he was called “Pops,” but during most of his major-league career, Willie Stargell was better known as one of baseball’s big power hitters. He hit 296 of his career 475 home runs during the 1970s and led the National League in homers twice (1971 and 1973). In 1979, the last time the Pirates won the World Series, Stargell was the league’s co-MVP, sharing top … [Read more...] about Stargell Sampler: Pops’ Cards Span 3 Decades

Ramblings: When Rose Ruled the Hobby

September 14, 2014 By Rich Klein

Twenty-five years ago, the first half of the baseball card collecting year was dominated by talk of the Upper Deck Company’s splashy debut with the Ken Griffey Jr. rookie card and the 1989 Fleer Billy Ripken with the now famous obscenity written on the bat knob.  It was the Ripken card—and the subsequent correction attempts-- that generated the most media attention.  … [Read more...] about Ramblings: When Rose Ruled the Hobby

Sweet Memories Keep The Bird Flying High

June 4, 2014 By Rich Klein

Which rookie pitcher had the biggest impact in baseball history?  Some people would say Fernando Valenzuela for how he inspired “Fernandomania” and also helped to bring a new group of fans to attend baseball games. Going to a game during his 1981 rookie season was more of an event then it even was a game. While he was a good pitcher for the rest of his career, he never … [Read more...] about Sweet Memories Keep The Bird Flying High
