1976 Hostess Big Wheels Uncut 10 Box Sheet w/ George Brett & Hank Aaron

I just picked up a pretty cool 1976 Hostess Big Wheels Uncut Sheet w/ 10 Boxes (3 cards per box).
Hall of Famers: George Brett, Hank Aaron, Rollie Fingers, Bert Blyleven, Ted Simmons.

I cannot find anything on this piece. I did find an 2020 REA auction that sold a 4 box double sided uncut sheet that was an error/overprint.

In my research I found that Big Wheels are an east coast regional issue similar to Ding Dongs.

I was hoping to find out what its worth but perhaps its an auction item.
Any experts who can help and chime in would be greatly appreciated.
Super cool piece!
Thanks for all of your help!

I used to collect these as a kid. All of the various Hostess snacks had these on the box. Twinkees, Big Wheels, Hostess Cupcakes to name a few. They also had single panels in single packs of Twinkees that were often stained with grease. I still have most of the panels, but they are the complete box bottoms or trimmed full panels of 3 or 4. Some of the 1975 I actually cut out the individual cards.

I’d say that would likely sell for $250-$400 since it is a full printed box sheet. Seems like it would be decently rare. Maybe worth more.
