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 2)

The first important and mainstream basketball set was issued by Bowman in 1948. Other than a Topps set in 1957-58 and a 1961-62 Fleer set, there were no mainstream basketball sets issued until Topps started producing yearly sets beginning with their 1969-70 set featuring the rookie card of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who then went under the name of Lew Alcindor.

In hockey, there were a few sets issued in the 1910's and while O-Pee-Chee issued some sets in the 1930's, the real modern sets began in 1951 with the itroduction of Parkhurst's first set.

In racing, while cards go back as far as the early Indy car days of 1911, modern racing sets began in 1988 with the issues released by MAXX.
