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.

Wow, talk about memories! Yes, I saw that Hart to Hart episode with the baseball cards. I hadn't thought of it for MANY years until I saw your post just now. I love having an old memory stirred up like that! Thanks for the proverbial trip down memory lane!

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!

You are welcome.

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!
