Product Details

The 1952 Topps Look 'N See set is one of the most popular trading card sets of all-time. The set focuses on more than 150 years worth of famous figures that helped shape America. The set remains heavily collected today by both set builders and fans of individual figures.

1952 Topps Look 'N See Set Details

The 1952 Topps Look 'N See set consists of 135 cards, each measuring 2-1/16” x 2-7/8”. The set was issued in two series of 75 and 60 cards, respectively. Each cardboard collectible bears a remarkably artistic and colorful “painted” subject portrait within a white border. Similar to the more recent Topps American Heritage sets, subjects are divided up into several subsets. The first nine cards are U.S. Presidents. Cards 10 through 31 are dubbed "Famous Americans." Numbers 32 to 42 are Military Leaders and 43 to 46 are Famous Women. Subset themes continue throughout the rest of the set, but they're scattered. Other subjects include Explorers, Men of the West, Inventors and World Figures. A white rectangle toward the bottom identifies the world-famous luminary from history; that rectangle is bordered in yellow, with a small icon denoting the respective subset. Card backs are orange with white text detailing the subject’s biography. Each back also has a shield at the upper left corner identifying the card number, as well as a trivia question. (A red cellophane “decoder” that enabled fans to read the trivia answer accompanied each pack).

The 1952 Topps Look 'N See Babe Ruth, Card # 15, is by far the most popular card in the set. He is the only baseball player on the checklist. In fact, he's the lone professional athlete.The key cards in the collection all originate from the second series and are thought to have been single prints: Rembrandt (#82), Julius Caesar (#84), Roald Amundsen (#88), Adlai Stevenson (#98), Daniel De Foe (#101), John D. Rockefeller (#112), Amerigo Vespucci (#118), Victor Herbert (#130), and Joan of Arc (#133).

Because of the wide variety of figures in the set, some cards sell for more than others. Not to take away from anyone's accomplishments, but Albert Einstein is far more popular that Elias Howe.

With its striking artwork, comprehensive checklist and storied history, 1952 Topps Look 'N See set remains a classic in the hobby. Its varied subject matter should ensure it remains highly collectible in both the near- and distant-future.
