Popular for classic design, historic subjects and an interesting trivia game, Topps 1952 "Look 'n See" series ranks as one of the top non-sport issues of the post-war era. This tastefully appointed set is formatted after Topps standard setting 1952 baseball card series, but in a smaller size. Famous figures from throughout history are celebrated with artwork images gracing the card obverses, while the reverses feature pertinent text and trivia questions related to the subjects. The answers to the questions are detected by using a red cellophane viewer panel to uncover embedded images and revelations. Absent only card #112 John D. Rockefeller, this Look 'n See saves a lot of leg work and condition is respectable, with the great majority ranging from average to better.
