Hey.... who is that in the new SMR?????

Golfcollector

Well actually it is me....

Sorry for the self promotion Zardoz! But hey us golf guys do not get the fame like you Kellogs Kollectors!!!

A Special Thanks to David Laurell for a nice write up on me and my golf card collection. Hope you take time to check it out in the SMR, They did include some nice pictures of some of my cards, hope my collecting interest can give you members out there a few enlightneing minutes of reading about something a little different.

I hope to make it to the National next year, or maybe even Chicago this fall, to finally meet many of you that grace the presence of these boards.

I read a little of the article this afternoon.

I like how you fell in and fell in love with those cards.

The artists did amazing sketch work on the Ouimet & Hagen on pg 154.

There really is some neat artwork with the 1931 Set in particular. One of these days I will get scans added to the registry, but I always have an excuse not to take the time to do it.....usually something like playing golf......

Outstanding!!!

Dave....very impressive.

You do realize the danger in an article of this nature?

It was so well presented, and in light of the "reach" of the SMR into serious collector's hands, I'm sure that there are more than a couple that are saying to themselves that the idea of collecting REAL golf cards is not such a bad idea.

All of a sudden, you have increased pressure in the marketplace for the stuff that YOU want!!!!!!

1927 Who's Who in Sport (Golf) Aubrey Boomer PSA 8 (none higher)
1927 Who's Who in Sport (Golf) Miss Cecil Leitch PSA 7
1927 Who's Who in Sport (Golf) Jesse Sweetser PSA 6
1927 Who's Who in Sport (Golf) Miss Molly Gourlay PSA 6

Neal-Very nice, when was it written? Are your collecting goals still the same?

1420sports

That article was written about two years ago. The goals are still basically the same - I still obviously collect Rose, still collect HOF players, Michele is now my wife and I am still saving for the 52 Mantle.

I still have (and will always have)the Yankees ball.

Zardoz!

Yes I realize the can of worms this may open but as you so often do, spreading the word so more can get involved is a lot more fun then hoarding all the cards to myself......

I hope a few more people jump on the wagon.
