I’m kind of unclear what this is saying? To which other 1976 sets would these correlate to? The Twinkies set for 1976 is only 1-60 and that doesn’t seem to jive with what I’ve seen. The closest correlation isurmise would be to the King Dons or Ding Dongs distribution.

I'm just pissed they never marked "King Dongs"

While under semi lockdown, I've been cleaning/sorting/organizing thousands of cards in boxes, and found complete boxes (rather beat up) of 76 and 79 Hostess.

The King Dons were all brown backs between numbers 106 to 150.

I found 6 Twinkie boxes, 4 Ho Ho boxes, 1 Suzy Q box, 8 King Dons boxes, 2 Cup Cakes and 1 Crumb Cakes.

Are any of the boxes tougher than the others? I don't ever recall eating a King Dons or a Crumb Cake.

Were any of them more regional?

I know I broke out as many brown backs as I could find on COMC. Not perfect but you can check to see if your suppositions are correct in terms of what cards have brown backs.

I am still looking for pictures of uncut sheets from the 1977 Twinkies set. My research shows there were four sheets used for that set with different product cuts on each sheet. I've located pictures of three of the sheets but I'm still looking for pictures of that fourth sheet.
