While the name is the same, this is not the snack company that put cards on their boxes in the 1970s. This Hostess is a Canadian company that made potato chips.
The Canadian Hostess got into the baseball card game in 1987 with a 30-card sticker set. The stickers were pretty small, measuring just 1 3/4" x 1 3/8". They were found in specially marked bags of their chips.
Just one Cub player was on the checklist, but boy was that sticker a doozey!
Yes, that is Ryne Sandberg. It looks like punk Ryne Sandberg, though, with dark eyebrow, eye liner, and lipstick. I looked through pictures of all 30 stickers and Ryno is the only one that wes messed up like this. Do they not like him up in Canada??
Ouch. Looks like he had plastic surgery and they messed up.
