You cannot go wrong with that approach. The All-Star cards are some of the more attractive Topps issues. Those were some of the last cards I added to my mainstream Mantle set. With the exception of the 1958, it is tough to track down affordable examples of a lot of them. Be careful though, Mantle collecting is addictive. I started with Topps and Bowman. Five years later and I am chasing stadium issued photos, coins, and postcards. Even looking for that stupid key chain insert and a reflective decal....
Bill, what set are you working on?
