Who remembers the baseball cards that were on the bottom of Hostess Ding-dongs and Ho-Ho's boxes. I used to collect them back in the 1970s.

Indeed I do... still have a few of them.

Here's what they looked like:

Wow! Those are the ones! You didn't cut them out like the rest of the kids? ;)

I've got a few of those, but as stated they are indeed cut from the box :(

I cut mine off the bottom of the box but kept them together. I looked through my collection and I have a Van Hayes (Woo-hoo) together with a Robin Yount. I used to bug my Mom to buy those instead of Tastykakes just for the cards.

I checked out the rest of your website. I forgot about the Kellogg's cereal cards. Those were awesome as well.

I absolutely cut mine out. The link I sent I found on the Web. The cards I REALLY liked as a kid were the Kellogg ones that came in some cereals. They had sort of a fuzzy 3-D background. Really cool.

The Kelloggs cards were great. My brother and I would send away for the set every year.
It was also cool when a magazine like Dynamite or Hot Dog would come out with a small sheet of cards. It was a bummer when the players were not superstars.

I used to get cards off Mac N Cheese boxes. Anybody else remember those?

No I don't remember those? Do you have any links we can look at?
