Magic Photos
   Topps - 1949

Notes: This series features a large number of diverse subsets. Cards are 7/8" x 
1-7/16" and show "develop-with-water" photographs. Undeveloped cards are 
difficult to compare against a checklist, of course. The series is often confused 
with the 1956 "Hocus Focus" set. American Card Catalog reference is R714-27. 
Scans are posted at the Vintage Non-Sports Cards gallery.
