I have some of my Hostess cards from the 1970s as well as some of the three-card panels. I never collected full boxes like the one below. Now, I prefer the full boxes because I get the memories of both the cards and the treats that I ate way too often during those years.
Some of these 1975 complete boxes are easy to find online and they are not that expensive. Other boxes can cost a lot more money.
Does anyone collect these boxes? Before COVID I got 45 different full boxes. I have 22 duplicates that I hope will help me get a few more different ones.
I don't collect those boxes, but I can definitely see how they increase the nostalgia factor compared with the panels alone. How do you store them/display them?
ReplyDeleteStoring them is easy - they fit well in USPS Priority Mail Boxes. I only have one on display at home and I made no frame or anything for it.
ReplyDeleteAh, good to know, thank you! Maybe I'll pick up a full box one day.
DeleteI have a bunch of duplicates. I prefer to trade them for ones that I need since I don't see them often in my price range nowadays.
DeleteThat's awesome that someone back in the 70's had the foresight to keep these boxes complete. I don't own any (in fact... only have a handful of Hostess panels), but if I found any at a reasonable price I'd grab them.
ReplyDeleteToo bad there is no Tony Gwynn or Rickey Henderson boxes. Do you have any favorites that appear in the Hostess sets?
