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.
