Below are short bits & pieces on sportscard & baseball trading card collecting.
Please wander around the website for more info, prices, values & images
on vintage baseball, football, basketball, hockey, sport and non-sports cards.
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.

How long have sports cards been around ? (part 1)
The first baseball trading cards date back to 1869. For many years,
baseball cards were packaged in packs of tobacco as a way to increase sales
the same way that today prizes are packaged in boxes of cereal.
In the 1920's and 1930's, candy and gum companies started packaging baseball
cards in their products as well.
Baseball card production was virtually halted in the early 1940's due to paper
shortages created by World War II. The "Modern Era" of baseball cards began in
1948 when Bowman Gum Inc. offered one card and one piece of gum in a pack for a penny.
The first important football set was the Mayo set featuring college players
in 1984. Other than the 1935 National Chicle set no other key football set was
issued until 1948 when noth Bowman and Leaf produced sets.
