old golf tobacco cards from a very very elusive set of Cope's Golfers. Made by Cope's Tobacco in 1900, these feature many golfers of the day. These are by far the most rare and valuable vintage golf cards around. I wanted to post a representative card from the set.
These appear to have been pasted in an albumn at some time. The backs have some type of glue or adhesive residue on them although it is more of a toning appearance. Also some may have very minor paper loss, this one if you look closely does have some very minor loss on the reverse.
Curious as to what the long time submitters think about this. This is a complete set of 50. The fronts of all but 1 card are just like this or slightly better. Of the reverse of cards, about 4 look like this, 5 have really bad back damage, (1 is just hamburger) and the other 41 just show the residue but no signs of paper loss.
I have looked these over for about an hour very closely before putting this post out there. This set is very expensive, I would just like to grade these beacuse :
(1) they are pretty darn old and cool...
(2) it will help to keep the cards protected and
(3) I doubt anyone else will be able to put one of these together on the set registry!
Please let me know your thoughts as to how you think this card would grade. I am familiar with the "standars" but this is my first venture into this type of situation regarding the reverse of cards.. Any feedback is appreciated. I also am planning on putting scans of the cards of my completed sets on the registry this weekend and will keep you all posted as to when I get that compelted.
Thanks!
