I love the all-star subsets from 1958 to 1962. From 1959 to 1961 they are in the tough high-number series and inevitably some the last cards I acquired when completing those sets. Only four players appear in all five of those subsets: Mantle, Mays and Aaron of course. And Luis Aparicio. (Roy McMillan of all people broke Ernie Banks' streak in 1962)
These had to be popular cards so I wonder why Topps discontinued them from 1963-67, then resumed from 1968-70. I'd also love to know the sponsorship backstory -- Sport Magazine in 1958 and 1960, the Sporting News all the other years. |
