.the 1951 T current All Stars...those three scarce ones ( Roberts,Rizutto,etc.) ..were readily available ??..I thought those 3 were " hard to find/ not issued/whatever ??

Rosen in his 1956 list does list the Current All-Stars for 5 cents each, bit that doesn't necessarily mean he had them all in stock. In 1959, Gelman listed all 11 in his article on 1951 Topps, but said that the large cards were almost impossible to complete, and in his price list he only listed four of the All-Time All-Stars as available.
