The history of baseball cards in Canada is somewhat similar to that of baseball cards in the United States. The first cards were trade cards, then cards issued with tobacco products and later candies and gum. World Wide Gum and O-Pee-Chee both produced major sets during the 1930’s.

While baseball cards were first produced in the United States, as the popularity of baseball spread to other countries, so too did the production of baseball cards. Sets appeared in Japan as early as 1898,[1] in Cuba as early as 1909[2] and in Canada as early as 1912.[3]

Developed by Sy Berger, the Topps 1952 set was made up of the first "modern baseball card," complete with player image, team logo, vital statistics, and a full playing record. The cards measured 2 5/8 in. x 3 3/4 in. and featured colorized black and white photos of the players. Although Berk Ross came out with a 1952 Joe DiMaggio card, Joe announced his retirement prior to the start of production on the 1952 Topps cards, so he is not included in the 1952 set.
