In 1954, Argus Newspaper released the VFL Football Caricature Swap Card Series, featuring photos of players heads with cartoon drawn bodies and background. They were very popular at the time and inspired the 1957 Kornies Mascot set too. There were 144 cards in the set, which was a large number for the era. 12 players from each VFL team were featured, including the rookie cards of North Melbourne legend Allen Aylett and Melbourne star John Beckwith.
