1952 Topps Look 'N See Trading Cards

Set Notes

A 1950's-era card set that truly appeals to the eclectic card buyer, the 1952 Topps Look 'N See trading card set features Babe Ruth alongside Rembrandt, Sir Walter Raleigh, Genghis Khan and Joan of Arc. Sometimes erroneously listed as a baseball card set, Ryan Cracknell at the Cardboard Connection properly points out that there are only three baseball cards in the 135 card complete set.
