MAKING SENSE OUT OF THE TURNING STONE CARDS:
============================================

I've been milling over my Turning Stone cards all day trying to make some sense out of all the different "Multi-Game issues", and the following list is what I came up with:

Apparently each series does not include all the denominations expected. So using my collection and the 5th ed. of Wells-Lamb, I broke down the different cards into separate series.

I don't pretend that this list is totally complete and accurate, so I hope that you all will bounce your collections against this list and post any discreptencies (or e-mail me if you wish) so that we can all have a way to document and trade our cards.
