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.
The cards issued on Cupcake boxes had very tiny print on the back and are often referred to as "Small Print". Note: A few cards were issued in both variations.

Protecting and Storing your Card Collection

There are many different ways to protect, organize and store your sports cards.

Soft Sleeves also called "penny sleeves" are the most basic protection for your cards. Made of thin plastic, they come in packs of 100 and are very inexpensive.

Top Loads are rigid plastic holders and a step up in protection over "soft sleeves". Called top-loads because you place the card thru a thin opening at the top. They come in many sizes for regular cards upto 8-1/2 x 11 for magazines and even larger.

Screw-Down Acrylic Holders
These are sometimes used for better, more expensive cards. Small screws hold two pieces of clear acrylic together. In a variety of sizes and thickness that not only protect the card but can funciton as a paper weight or display item.

There are also Single-Screw Screw-Downs that use only 1 screw to seal the holder. They are easier to use and provide the same type of protectionas regular screwdowns and they are also much less expensive costing as little as .30 in quantity while 1 inch or 2 inch acrylic screw-downs can cost upto several dollars.
