A dozen cupcakes

I received a very nice 12-card envelope from Night Owl with cards from 1977 Hostess. We are both big fans of this set. These will all eventually participate in "cake vs. gum" when I get up to 1977.

I'm sure it's no coincidence that the two biggest stars are Yankees. Jim Hunter is in the Hall of Fame and Thurman Munson clearly should be. Lots of other guys who were big names at the time like Foster, Buckner and Tenace. All of these cards are lots of fun and greatly appreciated. Thanks N.O.!

    Awesome lot of Hostess from NO. Not sure when the 77 series will take place... but I'm predicting "cake" when you show off the Torrez and the Coliseum background again. Had no idea he even played for the A's.

    Buckner's mustache/eyebrow symmetry is a wonder to behold...

    Andy Messersmith always looks weird as a Brave to me.
