These golf cards smell fishy.....
Link to latest auction
Same seller has been selling these Canadian Gum Company Exquisite Gold cards. All feature amazingly Tiger Woods, Arnold Palmer, Rory McIlroy or Tiger Woods game used golf glove cards and although NOT serial numbered on the card, they are limited to either 10 or 35 made.
Suprisingly I have uncovered the following looking for any info on these cards.
1) I find no record of such a card company in business right now
2) This same seller is the one that seems to have all of these for sale
3) No back scans are ever provided
I sent a email to him outlining the above areas of my concern. Will be interested to see what I hear back.
These are selling for some pretty decent coin, I hate to see people get duped, or maybe it is just me that is totally missing the boat here on something. Yet again another reason someone such as Upper Deck should get back into the golf card market...there obviously are interested buyers even for stuff that does not appear to be documented and or properly licensed.
Anyone with any thoughts or help would be apprecaited, I got an email from a guy that asked me about them today, which is the only reason I am really doing all of this research myself...but it does not seem legit to me.

Did a quick search and I found this.
Some folks are paying over a hundo each for some of these....wow....pretty good side business for something that appears to be made on the back room scanner.

Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.
