Difference between 1975 Hostess and 1975 Hostess Twinkie
 
I have a Don Sutton #7 card. I have narrowed it down to one of these two sets, but I can't find anything on the difference between these two sets. Any help is very much appreciated. Thanks. I don't have time to scan right now, might in a few days if there is no response.

The regular 1975 Hostess cards came in panels of three cards, the 1975 Twinkies cards were distributed individually. The easiest way to tell the difference is that the Twinkies cards have black bars on the backs of the cards, the Hostess three card panels do not.

How the heck do you hit 26 homers and only have 56 RBI's?

Also interesting, the 1977 Brock shown here has much smaller print on the Twinkie.
The food stains also never go away.....

The difference between the various Hostess snack products of the 1970s is decay rates. I bet there are still some Twinkies from 1975 hanging around under a landfill somewhere, waiting like Imhotep to be resurrected. If there is a nuclear war all that will remain are cockroaches and Twinkies and even the roaches won't be able to digest them...

Not the exact same year, but here is a "1977 Twinkie/Cupcake singles" partial sheet I have, and you can see the black strip on back.
