1958-62 Topps All-star cards

[mr2686]

I really like the design on the 61 and 69 All-Star cards. Liked them as a kid, and still like them.

I did all of the 60s AS sets. I just bought my first two 58s

I love the subsets, '60 and '61 my favorites, '58 close behind. The one design I really don't care too much for is '62. Got to throw in some cards here.

Amen to what everyone else is saying!! Love the All Star cards from those years, especially the tough high numbers, and prefer most of them to the players' regular cards from the same sets. The 58's in particular are things of beauty.

Those are some nice cards. I think the '61s were the toughest to acquire and the nicest looking. Agree with you on the '62 All-Stars -- design was too much like the base cards.

Not only is this an All Star card, but it's one if my favorite Mantle cards hands down.

One of my favorite cards. I love all these All Star subsets but the '58 is special to me. It's the first one I recall seeing as a kid.

Don't forget the 1974s:



I like the 1969s best of all:



I am pleased that All Star cards have been revived in the modern context even as inserts (I know, ewww, gross):

Back in the 70s I ordered cards from a guy in Illinois and twice he sent me one of these Mantle cards as a bonus.
