1978 Hostess Snacks Cubs (F-unc)

Number of Cards

1978 Hostess has 150 cards, which there are 6 Cubs players.

Size of Cards

The cards, when cut properly, measure 2 1/4" x 3 1/4" and the card panels measure approximately 3 1/4" by 7 1/4".

Basic Features

Between 1975 and 1979, Hostess Bakeries featured baseball cards on the outside of their snack cake boxes. These cards were generally organized in a three-card panel, with the front card positioned at the bottom of the box, thereby removing any uncertainty regarding which cards would be included. Certain cards are rarer than others, as they were found on packages of less popular Hostess items. This represents the fourth of five annual Hostess releases. Some collectors consider Hostess panels from this period to be slightly more challenging to acquire than those from other years. There are two types: the 3-card horizontal panel and the L-shaped panel. An album was produced specifically for these cards.
