Default A fun and inexpensive collectible

I finally got around to zeroing in on Hostess cards from the 70s.

My idea was to get the panels and reconstruct the boxes as I've done with 60s player wax boxes.

It's been reported that a "warehouse find" of unused flat boxes caused the bottom to fall out on these cards?

That's fine with me since these HOF'ers can be had for less than 10 bucks in some cases - the Yount RC was a whopping 25 bucks.

And what's cool is that the Blyleven wound up being an HOFer along with Seaver.

So, in reconstructing, I fortify the box with foam core and then shrink wrap the box - so here we go:
