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.

Protecting and Storing your Card Collection
There are many different ways to protect, organize and store your sports cards.
Soft Sleeves
also called "penny sleeves" are the most basic protection for your cards.
Made of thin plastic, they come in packs of 100 and are very inexpensive.
Top Loads
are rigid plastic holders and a step up in protection over "soft sleeves".
Called top-loads because you place the card thru a thin opening at the top.
They come in many sizes for regular cards upto 8-1/2 x 11 for magazines and
even larger.
Screw-Down Acrylic Holders
These are sometimes used for better, more expensive cards. Small screws hold
two pieces of clear acrylic together. In a variety of sizes and thickness
that not only protect the card but can funciton as a paper weight or display
item.
There are also Single-Screw Screw-Downs that use only 1 screw to seal the holder.
They are easier to use and provide the same type of protectionas regular screwdowns
and they are also much less expensive costing as little as .30 in quantity
while 1 inch or 2 inch acrylic screw-downs can cost upto several dollars.
