I don't know how to paste it here, but a 1975 Hostess panel with the corrected Burt Hooton card sold for $361.26 on eBay recently even with light creases and light scratches. The corrected 1975 Burt Hooton and Doug Rader cards are very difficult to find, there must have been a small print run of them.

There are probably quite a few less of the correct spelling cards. |

Aha, that's why every correct Hooton that I have seen has the factory crease along the bottom, they are from the smaller box.

A fairly large amount of unused/unfolded boxes seemed to have made their way into circulation; especially from 1975. Was this just extra stock? Were they poor quality rejects? 9 panels, mostly on King Dons boxes, seem to be more plentiful in this form. Anybody have any insight?

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. Steve B |
