Offered is a fascinating uncut sheet from the 1977 Hostess set featuring a total of ten "Big Wheels" boxes on the sheet (each with a three-card panel), highlighted by a few Hall of Famers and stars including Steve Carlton, Goose Gossage, Dennis Eckersley, Keith Hernandez, and Graig Nettles. The 1977 Hostess set of 150 cards was issued on boxes of Hostess snack cake products, with one three-card panel appearing on the bottom of each box. The ten three-card panels featured on this sheet are: #106-108, 109-111, 112-114, 115-117, 118-120, 121-123, 124-126, 127-129, 130-132, and 133-135. Printed on a thick cardboard stock, the sheet is technically in Fair condition due to light creases affecting the interior cards as well as a few edge nicks and tears and moisture staining. This sheet would make an outstanding companion piece to any 1977 Hostess set or serve as an extraordinary addition to any Hostess or uncut-sheet collection. The sheet measures 34 x 58 inches and will be shipped rolled, as we received it. The size/weight of this item requires that there will be an additional shipping charge for this lot. Reserve $100.
