1954 Topps Scoops

1954 Topps Scoops squeezes 1,000 years of history into a sharp (156) card set.
The cards, slightly smaller 2-1/16" x 2-15/16", were released in (2)
(78) card series. Each card had a colorful painting and caption
with date on front. Some were issued with a scratch-off area meant
hiding the headline so some cards are found with and without the
coating.

1954 Scoops covered many major events & people throughout history.
Mostly a non-sports set, many top sports stars like Babe Ruth,
Jesse Owens, Notre Dame's Four Horsemen, Joe Louis, Bob Feller
and Ben Hogan were included.

Backs are similar to a newspaper's front page with newspaper's name,
headline, date & location at top. The set seemed to focus on
disasters like the San Francisco Earthquake, Fire Sweeps Chicago,
Rome Burned, Pompeii Destroyed (#91); and wars: Battleship Maine
Blown Up, Alamo Falls, U.S. Troops Reach France, World War II
Begins, Victory in Europe & Napoleon Loses at Waterloo plus many
other events that shaped the world.
