1925 Turf Cigarettes Card
I just picked up this 1925 Turf Cigarettes card of George Sisler. Does it look authentic? It was pretty cheap, so I guess that is why I'm suspicious.
I'm curious to know more about this issue: was it only distributed in london? Is Sisler the only baseball player? I assume they are talking about his 1922 season where he hit .420. Any info on this card and Turf cigarette cards in general would be appreciated. L!!Wk~$(KGrHqEOKjcEyZzwOd,oBMpPGB(n3g~~_12.JPG)

Looks like the one I have. They are inexpensive and British/German trade cards don't bring much. Still a cool card IMO>

It's real. It comes from a set of 25 cards each depicting a different "sport records" and the term "Sport" is used very liberally within the set. There is also a boxing card, golf card, mountain climbing, etc., etc.
The Sisler is the highest demand card in the set. It's actually a pretty cool little set with interesting write-ups on the backs of the cards (the Mountain Climber didn't live to see his card made, unfortunately!) -Rhett

Sisler card
Unfortunately, the Sisler card is the only baseball card. There are actually two series of 25, thus the card number...
Cheers, Geno
