Though these are called Trucards sets, the the first few sets, including ours, which use real photographs actually came from George Austin`s Colour Library International Ltd of New Malden in Surrey. These sets were "Animals", Flowers", our set "Sport". and "Veteran and Vintage Cars" - and they were all issued in 1972. However some of the sets are drawn, and they do not credit this source, though they were also issued in the same year. And I have no idea how they were issued, or what with. Anyone know?
