grading Hostesss Twinkie cards with food stains

Have any of the player set collectors on the board had any experience submitting hand cut Hostess Twinkie cards for grading even if they have food stains? In checking the pop list, i don't see any with qualifiers which makes me wonder if people submitted uncirculated cards cut from rolls or if PSA accepted the oil stains w/o penalizing them with an ST qualifier. I have found that PSA sometimes let light oil stains on Bell Brand potato chip cards slide by without a qualifier. Any insight would be appreciated!

    Hello,
    I have submitted quite a few of the Hostess Twinkie cards from 1976-77 including the 1976 Hostess Johnny Bench psa 10. Every Twinkie card that I have submitted were from unused rolls that I personally hand cut.

    Phil, would you happen to have submitted any Steve Garvey Twinkie cards or have any of them on what remains of your roll of cards?

    blue227,

    I have a couple of 1976 Hostess Twinkies Steve Garvey that I have trimmed from the rolls but have never gotten around to submitting them to PSA. I would be happy to give you one of them at no charge. Just send me your address. I am happy to help out.

    Sorry but Garvey was the biggest name I had along with a few commons.

    Were'nt the Hostess products (like Drakes a few years later) in plastic wrap packaging then put in the boxes?
    If so, none should have the stains...jay

    No, the Twinkie cards were used as the backing board in Twinkie cello 2 packs. I have a few of them and they all have 30 year old Twinkie stains on them. Not a pretty sight....

    No plastic wrap between the Twinkie and the card...

    for those who are working on these sets, I am curious if there is much of a market for the singles/sets, raw or graded. I have a bunch of mid-70s drake's and hostess cards from my youth, all cut. most sales I've seen involve uncut panels.

    Basically I think you will find that those interested in Hostess singles and panels as well as Hostess "Twinkies" are basically collectors who are interested in individual players. There are but a handful of collectors who have registered Hostess sets.
