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 A)
Airbrushing is the art of touching up a photo prior to the card being printed.
It was generally done to remove imperfections or update or hide a players
jersey/cap logo. Because of advancements in print technology and computers this is
no longer needed.
All-Star card (AS) usually a subset card picturing a player who participated in the
previous season’s all-star game. Topps created these in their 1958 High Number
issue and has continued the practice fairly regularly to date. Such cards
are usually designated in price guides with the abbreviation of AS.
Assorted A general mix of cards often containing many duplicates.
Auction items are sold to the highest bidder. Auctions used to be live
or thru the mail/phone but today most auctions are online.
Auction Catalog lists the rules and descriptions and often images
of the items in an auction.
Authentication verification that an item (card, autograph) is genuine. Most "game-used"
material inserts have a written declaration of authenticity on the reverse.
Authorized Issue card or memorabilia item that has been properly licensed. If
the item is of a player, his written permission must be given in order for it to be considered authorized.
