King Dons were somewhat regional, going by another name in other areas. My guess is that one of the regional bakeries either changed names or backdoored a bunch of boxes. That sort of thing happened a lot back then.
I finished the Papa Ginos discs in 78 by luck. We got Pizza once a week, so I got pretty close to having the set. Towards the end we went to another restauraunt and I got nothing but extras. When I asked the staff if I could swap them they handed me the entire bucket they had at the counter and told me to take what I needed since the promotion ended in a couple days. Our local place wouldn't even swap an extra for another random card.
I also got one of the counter ads. They claimed they were all meant to be sent back to corporate, but a week after the promotion ended one was "lost" down behind the register and when I asked they let me have it.
To get it back on topic......I also picked up a few of the Hostess shelf ads later on. 77-78 I think.
