1977 Hostess 'Twinkies' Baseball
Following their 1975 and 1976 issues, Hostess again issued special,
scarcer versions of their cards only found on selected boxes like
Twinkies and Cupcakes.
They have same fronts as regular 1977 Hostess but slightly
different backs and identified by the black bar that can usually be
seen on the back of the card. They were originally (1975/1976) issued
with Twinkies thus they are now called "Twinkies" versions.

Here's one person's list:
1900s: 1909-11 T206 Honus Wagner 1910s: 1916 M101-4 Sporting News Babe Ruth 1920s: 1921 E121 American Caramel Babe Ruth 1930s: 1933 Goudey Babe Ruth 1940s: 1948 Leaf Jackie Robinson 1950s: 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle 1960s: 1968 Topps Nolan Ryan 1970s: 1973 Topps Mike Schmidt/Ron Cey/John Hilton 1980s: 1982 Topps Cal Ripken 1990s: 1993 Upper Deck SP Derek Jeter 2000s: 2001 Topps Chrome Albert Pujols or Ichiro Suzuki 2010s: 2018 Bowman Chrome Shohei Ohtani |
The first important and mainstream basketball set was issued by Bowman in 1948. Other than a Topps set in 1957-58 and a 1961-62 Fleer set, there were no mainstream basketball sets issued until Topps started producing yearly sets beginning with their 1969-70 set featuring the rookie card of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who then went under the name of Lew Alcindor.
In hockey, there were a few sets issued in the 1910's and while O-Pee-Chee issued some sets in the 1930's, the real modern sets began in 1951 with the itroduction of Parkhurst's first set.
In racing, while cards go back as far as the early Indy car days of 1911, modern racing sets began in 1988 with the issues released by MAXX.
