1952 Topps Look 'n See

The 1952 Topps Look 'n See non-sports card set contained (135) cards of historical figures and personalities. The set came in two series (75 & 60 cards). As usual in most vintage sets, the 2nd series cards are tougher to find. various historical figures and notable personalities.

A super-cool aspect of these cards was the trivia question and hidden answer on the backs. A red cellophane “decoder” enabled collectors to read the trivia answer and was an insert in each pack. The set was packed with famous explorers, leaders, scientists, writers, artists, and others from the entire world but the key cards in the set are the 2nd series short prints. Baseball fans will be happy to find Babe Ruth, the sole athlete in the set.

Baseball card collecting terms (part G)

Grade/Condition Centering, corner wear, photo clarity, edges, creases, print flaws ... all combine to determine a card's condition or grade. Along with rarity/scarcity it is the major factor in a card's value.

Graded Card As values increased the condition of cards and the determination of fakes and alterations became increasingly more important. Various companies became "graders" of your cards. For a fee they would grade your card (usually on a 1 to 10 scale) and then placed in a sealed plastic holder with labelling of the vital information.

From past experiences, most people are NOT HAPPY with the grades they receive. To keep values up, graders can be extremely picky. Things you don't see, they do so don't be surprized when the NEAR MINT card you send in ends up with an EX or EX/MINT grade.

There are TOO many grading companies - if you do, do choose carefully. PSA / SGC / GAI / BGS are some of the many companies. It is good to know that getting a card graded by a company that people do not recognize or respect will usually just cost you time and money and not help you in any way.
