I'm like Tonyo...1973 was the first set I collected seriously as a kid...and over the years I upgraded it. I remember buying the 4th series complete from Larry Fristch since I couldn't for some reason find the 4th run in my area. The High Numbers were easier!
I went back and completed the 1972 set much later...but also enjoyed collecting that one. 1974 brings back the fondest of memories...I completed almost the entire set card by card by buying packs and then trading with my friends during that hot summer as a kid! Eventually went for the master set and finally obtained the last card i needed 1974 Washington NL Dave Roberts at the old Bob Lee show in SF in the late 80's...the guy I bought it from was just as excited as I was when I told him that was the last one I needed.

1958 Topps All-Star Sub Set
I am not a set builder for baseball though I am for football and have a couple sets from the 1960's. That being said, I am toying with the idea of collecting the 1964 and more importantly the 1965 Topps Baseball sets as those are my favorite two years from the 1960's. It will take a while but having fun with both.
As a high school student back in the 1980's I put together the '58 Topps All - Star sub set. Some twenty plus years later they are still my favorite group of cards in my small but growing collection. I am sure several remember the Hart to Hart episode that featured a young boy who inherited a great collection of vintage baseball cards from his deceased father. The cards were stolen and eventually Jonathan Hart (Robert Wagner) wins them back by flipping. One of the cards they showed was Stan Musial's first Topps card, the '58 All - Star and I instantly fell in love with that sub set. The last two cards I picked up for that were the Mantle and Ted Williams and I believe I paid $10 for each back in the 80's. |

I'm not sure how much fun it was but I finished a Salutations Exhibit set last year. Took me several years to do it. At one point I had a near set of 1975 Topps which I definitely had fun doing--I was 10 and got to chew a lot of pink gum!

I watched the episode again on You Tube a few months back. As I said in my first post, those instantly became my favorite cards and twenty five years later they still are! |
