Parallels

Twinkie

The Twinkie set is a 60-card partial-parallel of the Hostess set. Each card has a thick black bar running down its back side.

The set was issued in individually-wrapped Twinkies, and because the Twinkie was placed directly on the card, this set is very difficult to find in mint condition.
