Series-K "Baseball Hall of Fame" is a 19 card sub set noted to be the first baseball card issued by Topps. Each pack of Hocus-Focus Bubble gum came with a 7/8 inch by 1-7/16 inch Magic Photo card which was blank on the front. The wrapper included the following developing instructions: "Dip card in water. Then rub blank side gently with this wrapper. Wet and rub until magic photo appears clear and bright."
