1952 Topps Look n See trading cards were released over two series (1-75 and 76-135) and totaled 135 cards. The subject matters on the card fronts range from presidents and royalty to inventors, scientists, entertainers, and athletes.
The set was divided into several subgroups. Series 1 grouped the subjects together (see below) but not in order. For example, card #1 is #2 of 9 in the Presidents series. For Series 2 the subgroups were no longer grouped together but rather distributed throughout the remainder of the checklist.
The reverse of each card included a bio of the card subject as well as a trivia question. To reveal the answer to the question, collectors had to place a piece of “magic red paper” over the card which would expose the blue design beneath the red print.
