1956 Adventure cards

Issued by Gum Products Inc., this 100-card set covered a variety of subjects. Featuring mostly non-sport like military or wild life, it also had a few sports related cards. The most famous being Max Schmeling's card, removed very early from the set for featuring the Nazi symbol, making it by far the scarcest and most expensive in the set.

The information on back of many cards was somewhat spotty and sometimes wrong. Card #39 claims Yamamoto was shot down in 1953 rather than 1943. Another in demand and interesting card is Boston Red Sox Rookie sensation Harry Agganis and mention of his death on back.

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.

Are sports cards valuable ?

Like all collectibles, over time some sports cards go down in value, others go up and some can even become very valuable. Card values are based on many factors: player popularity, scarcity, condition & collector interest. A card can be scarce but without demand value may not be great.

Q: What are some ways to collect cards ? * Complete sets by year & issue
* Cards of your favorite player
* Cards of your favorite team "TEAM SETS"
* Rookie cards
* Hall-of-Famer cards
* I even had a girlfriend that collected Don Mossi (checkout his ears), players whose last name start with "Z", and the Brett brothers George & Ken (she had a crush on George).
* "TYPE COLLECTING" (everyone should at least do a little of this !)

"Type Collecting"
is collecting at least one of each different "type" of issue. On scarcer issues you can add a less expensive common while on others you can select your favorite player or team.
