Night Owl sent a fun envelope of cards recently.
Six cards from '75 Hostess. Three big Phillies stars, and three catchers of lesser renown. The Barry Foote is my favorite - a parking lot card!
Three more Hostesses, this time from 1977. Two of them are looking up at the two non-Hostess cards Night Owl included, an UD Raul Mondesi and a 1976 SSPC promo card of Mickey Mantle. The back notes that the cards are "not available in stores". Remember when that was a common phrase in commercials? There's a phrase you don't hear any more.
Makes me want to eat some twinkies.
ReplyDeleteHostess cards are definitely a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteA. "not available in store" - now that's a phrase I've not heard in a long time. long time.
ReplyDeleteB. One of my end of the year presents was a box of raspberry Zingers. I mentioned loving them to one of my periods, so one of them ran out and got me a box. Two things of note...
#1: No cards.
#2: They were not delicious. Not sure if my box was stale or something, but they weren't the soft and moist treats that I remember.
Lots of good Hostess stuff showing up in bloggers' collections lately. SSPC always seems a tad underrated. I keep forgetting that Mantle card exists.
