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.
