Need Help Identifying two Reggie Jackson card
 
4 Attachment(s)
Good Evening folks,
I recently purchased an auction lot that had two Reggie Jackson cards that I can't seem to identify. At first glance I thought they were 1977 Hostess cards but soon realized I was wrong. They use the same image, text and layout as the 1977 hostess card and are hand cut. The similarities end there. They are different sizes then the hostess. They also have blank backs while the hostess had text on the reverse. The other difference is the colored triangles in the left center of the image.

The card with the blue triangle measures 2 5/16" x 1 9/16"

The card with the red triangle measures 1 15/16" x 15/16"

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance,
Scott

1977 Hostess Reggie Jackson
 
These were cut off the 1977 Hostess Box lids. They technically aren't cards, but make a nice companion piece to any Hostess/Jackson collection.

A minute late as usual. On a side note, I'm guessing that is Bob Lacey behind Jackson during spring training 1976.

Thank you for your help, I was only looking at the box bottoms and not the tops. With that little nugget of information I was able to find images of both cards as part of the box tops. It is much appreciated.

Garvey has "cards" like that for 76 Hostess. Same blue and red triangles that year as well.
