547.0. "New Hostess Baseball Card Set" by FUTURE::JST_ONGE (John St.Onge USDSL DTN 275-2715) Tue Mar 30 1993 23:10

    Hostess Cakes etc. will be putting  out  a 32 card set this year.
    1 card per product. 16 cards will be released before the All-Star
    game and 16 new cards after the All-Star game. Hostess has one of
    those outlet places in Fitchburg where you can pick this stuff up
    cheap and then you can  give  the  cupcakes  etc. to one of those
    places that feed the homeless.

    The wife picked up two boxes of a new Hostess product called
    "Baseballs". They're white cup cakes with white frosting and
    red stitching on the frosting so they resemble baseballs. It
    looks like these  are  the  only  product that will have the
    cards, but you get six per box.  The cards aren't bad,  blue
    diagonal striped borders  and  the  cards have logos so they
    aren't airbrushed. I got two Frank Thomas's out of the packs
    I opened.

    I bought some over the weekend and they look pretty good.
    I also noticed that they didn't (air brush) the name on the 
    caps,it sort of makes the cards look official. When Wonder
    bread came out with the cards in 1990 they looked cheap compared
    to these cards. On the weekends I used to go to the outlet and buy
    20 or 30 loafs then feed the bread to the birds at the park.
    Well looks like the kids and neighbors are going to have alot of
    cupcakes for lunches and snacks.... ............. ;-)
