Mark,
I thought I knew all the boxes that the Hostess cards appeared on until I saw this eBay add in the early fall for a 1979 Choco-diles complete box of for sale that contained baseball cards.

This was new to me and thus my questions as to how widespread Choco-diles were distributed and were the card containing boxes only available in 1979 or were they also sold during all the other years that Hostess included baseball cards on their boxes.
I grew up in Houston and don't ever remember seeing this dessert in the grocery stores but apparently, they were sold in Houston in 1977 per the newspaper add that Todd found.
I'm really curious as to how scarce complete boxes of Choco-diles containing baseball cards really are.
