1952 Topps Look 'n See

The 1952 Topps Look 'n See non-sports (with Babe Ruth) card set was packed with (135) cards of historical figures and came in two series of (75) & (60) cards. Cards from the 2nd series are much, much tougher to find.

The coolest aspect of these cards was the trivia question with hidden answer on back. To read the trivia answer, a red cellophane 'decoder' came in each pack. Packed with famous explorers, leaders, scientists, writers, artists and others from the world, the key cards are the 2nd series short prints. Sports fans are happy to find Babe Ruth, the only athlete to make the set.

Protecting and Storing your Card Collection

There are many different ways to protect, organize and store your sports cards.

Soft Sleeves also called "penny sleeves" are the most basic protection for your cards. Made of thin plastic, they come in packs of 100 and are very inexpensive.

Top Loads are rigid plastic holders and a step up in protection over "soft sleeves". Called top-loads because you place the card thru a thin opening at the top. They come in many sizes for regular cards upto 8-1/2 x 11 for magazines and even larger.

Screw-Down Acrylic Holders
These are sometimes used for better, more expensive cards. Small screws hold two pieces of clear acrylic together. In a variety of sizes and thickness that not only protect the card but can funciton as a paper weight or display item.

There are also Single-Screw Screw-Downs that use only 1 screw to seal the holder. They are easier to use and provide the same type of protectionas regular screwdowns and they are also much less expensive costing as little as .30 in quantity while 1 inch or 2 inch acrylic screw-downs can cost upto several dollars.
