Posted By: <b>Eric</b><p>Anthony,<br /><br />The MacRobertson's issue (c. 1917) made in Australia looks similar to the Turf. I have a scan of one on the bottom of my website here: <br /><br /><a href="http://www.freewebs.com/goudeyhunter/uncatalogedcards.htm" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://www.freewebs.com/goudeyhunter/uncatalogedcards.htm</a> <br /><br />It's not the spittin' image of the Turf..but they resemble each other.<br /><br />E.<br />

Posted By: <b>anthony</b><p>for the baseball image within the set, not the whole set...i just think that some of them are pretty cool looking...i know they arent as popular since its America's pasttime, and thats better for me since "i'm not made of money" and "money doesn't grow on trees" <br /><br />after checking out leon's site, i think i'm becoming a "type-card" collector, not that these would fall into that catagory... i have found that vintage set collecting for me is and will be impossible to do, so i'm in search of cards that appeal to me...thanks for all the info and i'll put it to use
