Buying sheet music is often less about finding one universally "best" copy and more about matching a piece to the way you collect: a specific decade, a composer or performer connection, a piano-focused format, a publisher, or simply a song title that belongs in your archive. In this group, all four are marked as sheet music from the United States and all sit in a narrow listed price range, so the practical choice comes down to era, genre, title appeal, and condition notes rather than a large price gap.
Quick take
- Best for the lowest listed price: *Sheet Music Don't Let the Stars Get in Your Eyes 1952 Slim Willet Perry Como* is the least expensive option and has a clear 1952 title connection.
- Best for an antique-era pick: *Sweetheart of Mine, 1911, Antique vintage sheet music* is the earliest piece here and is tied to Daly Music Publisher.
- Best for a 1940s piano-oriented choice: *That Feeling In The Moonlight, vintage sheet music 1944* names piano as the instrument and Paul-Pioneer Music Corp. as publisher.
- Best for a Pat Boone / Deborah Chessler title: *Sheet Music It's Too Soon To Know 1948 Pat Boone Deborah Chessler (VG* is a mid-century option with Edwin H Morris listed as publisher.
Listed price comparison
The spread is compact: the group runs from USD 5.99 to USD 8.99, with the lowest listed price about 33% below the highest. That means the cheapest choice is not dramatically separated from the others in absolute dollars, but it may still matter if you are filling multiple gaps in a sheet music collection.

Concise product notes
Sheet Music It's Too Soon To Know 1948 Pat Boone Deborah Chessler (VG
This is the pick to look at if the combination of 1948, Pat Boone, and Deborah Chessler is the main draw. The attributes place it in Very Good condition, with United States origin, Sheet Music format, Genre: Musicals, and Edwin H Morris as publisher. It also carries one of the more specific title lines in the group, which can be helpful for collectors shopping by song association rather than decade alone. The limitation is that it is neither the lowest-priced choice nor the earliest piece here; shoppers focused on antique pre-1920 sheet music will likely find the 1911 option more directly aligned.
Sweetheart of Mine, 1911, Antique vintage sheet music
*Sweetheart of Mine* is the clear era pick for anyone prioritizing early 20th-century sheet music. It is marked with exact year: 1911, Popular, by Decade: 1910's, Instrument: Piano, and Publisher: Daly Music Publisher. The title also includes "Antique vintage sheet music," making its collecting angle more explicit than the mid-century pieces. A concrete caution is that the description mentions one small closed edge tear at center right, so this is best matched to a shopper who values the 1911 date and cover/publisher appeal while accepting that noted edge flaw.
That Feeling In The Moonlight, vintage sheet music 1944
This is the most direct fit for a shopper who wants a 1940s piano piece. The attributes list exact year: 1944, Instrument: Piano, Popular, by Decade: 1940's, and Publisher: Paul-Pioneer Music Corp. The description also identifies it as "(Did You Ever Get) That Feeling In The Moonlight," with words and music by James Cavanugh, Larry Stock, and Ira Schuster. Its tradeoff is straightforward: it is the highest listed price in the comparison, and the description mentions corner bumps and rounding plus a very light old store stamp, so condition-sensitive collectors may weigh those details carefully.
Sheet Music Don't Let the Stars Get in Your Eyes 1952 Slim Willet Perry Como
This is the practical pick if you want the lowest-cost entry in the group while still getting a named 1952 title connected in the title to Slim Willet and Perry Como. The attributes mark it as Very Good, United States origin, Sheet Music format, Genre: Musicals, and Publisher: Meridian Music. It is also the only 1952 piece in the set, which may matter if you are filling a postwar or early-1950s run. The limitation is that it does not carry the piano instrument detail that appears on the 1911 and 1944 choices, so instrument-led shoppers may prefer those.
How to choose among them
If you collect by decade, the choice is simple. The 1911 *Sweetheart of Mine* gives you the earliest period represented, the 1944 *That Feeling In The Moonlight* serves the 1940s, *It's Too Soon To Know* sits in 1948, and *Don't Let the Stars Get in Your Eyes* moves into 1952. That spread makes this comparison especially useful for shoppers deciding whether their collection needs an antique-era piece, a wartime-era title, or a later mid-century song.
If you collect by instrument, the two clearest matches are *Sweetheart of Mine* and *That Feeling In The Moonlight*, since both list Instrument: Piano. If you collect by publisher, the set separates neatly: Daly Music Publisher for the 1911 piece, Paul-Pioneer Music Corp. for the 1944 title, Edwin H Morris for the 1948 title, and Meridian Music for the 1952 title.
If you collect by song and performer association, the title lines do much of the work. *Don't Let the Stars Get in Your Eyes 1952 Slim Willet Perry Como* and *It's Too Soon To Know 1948 Pat Boone Deborah Chessler* are the most name-forward choices. For shoppers who care more about cover-era appeal and early publishing history, *Sweetheart of Mine* has the strongest antique positioning. For a 1940s popular music and piano combination, *That Feeling In The Moonlight* is the most targeted match.
Final recommendation
For the broadest shopper, start with Sheet Music Don't Let the Stars Get in Your Eyes 1952 Slim Willet Perry Como because it is the lowest listed price at USD 5.99 and still includes Very Good condition and Meridian Music in the attributes. If your collection is more date-driven than price-driven, choose Sweetheart of Mine, 1911, Antique vintage sheet music for the earliest exact year in the group. If piano and the 1940s are your priorities, That Feeling In The Moonlight, vintage sheet music 1944 is the cleanest fit despite being the top price at USD 8.99. Choose It's Too Soon To Know 1948 Pat Boone Deborah Chessler when the Pat Boone/Deborah Chessler title connection and Edwin H Morris publisher detail matter most.
