Starting as the Topps gum company in 1938, the Brooklyn, NY based, Topps Gum was eventually replaced by Bazooka Bubble Gum in 1947 and is now one of America's most recognized products. Topps added trading cards in 1950 to try and enhance gum sales. That year, Hopalong Cassidy and Frank Buck "Bring 'em Back Alive" cards were issued. The following year in 1951 the first baseball cards were published (Red Backs, and Blue Backs game cards.) In 1952 the First set was issued with the famed Mickey Mantle Rookie Card, and a Stick of Gum! The 1951 Topps Red Backs and Blue Backs each had 52 cards in the set. Key cards in the Blue backs set are: Ashburn, Mize, Schoendienst, and Slaughter. The key Cards in the Red Backs set are: Berra, Snider, Rizzuto, and Spahn.
