Anyone know anything about vintage Golf cards???

Charlie9

This was supposed to be a 1900 Cope's golf card but I'm assuming this is a reprint? It's on much darker stock than the few I found on Ebay and the back has a faint script of "MCIL" over and over again (kind of a watermark I guess you'd say). I know it's a longshot but any chance these are authentic Cope's cards or hold any value? Thanks for any input...

Great looking card!

My friend, this is the thread you want for vintage golf cards: Vintage Golf Thread

Hope that helps

Thanks, I asked on the Golf thread also but so far no one is home. Anybody else familiar with these?

Hi,

I've got about a dozen of the Copes cards, and I've never seen any which have MCIL on them. Your card appears to be on a darker card stock than the originals. So sorry to say it does appear to be a reprint.

Let me know if you have any other questions about these. I am not the best expert, but if you can get a hold of Dave Johnson (golfcollector on these boards), he knows more about them than anyone I know.

I am thinking reprint as well but wondered if anyone knew anything further about these... any value whatsoever?
