This display box was once filled with (24) 5 cent packs of cards, for an 88 card set known as “Gee Whiz Quiz” or “Isolation Booth”. Issued in 1957 by Topps, the cards had a question on the front and the answer “magically” appeared on the back if you laid the magic red cellophane over the text. It was kind of loosely based on the quiz show craze of the ‘50s; specifically “The $64,000 Dollar Question”: The box grades VG to VG-EX (with the perforation intact but displays much nicer. Boxes from this set are not frequently made available for sale.
