Great adds, all! Several have me drooling. I know one has already been shown in this thread, but I'm only aware of 10-15 changing hands for as long as Worthpoint goes back to (including a couple of private sales). I'm happy to join the club with @ahopkins with a full color calendar that just arrived today ...
1974 Little Caesars (I think that's a Big Red RC on there also!)
The 1973 version also featured a multi-sport set including a golfer, Lee Trevino that year. And the 1974's come in two versions, with the full color obviously more attractive, but the baby blue a bit more difficult to locate of an already incredibly tough one to track down. Wish I could thank @begsu1013 publicly here for parting with one, but sadly he got red boxed ...
One left to go to complete my Little Caesars golfer run and hopefully PSA can be convinced to grade them one of these days.
I was really happy to locate a pair of these a few years back, both graded PSA 4, and I knew they were lower grade and didn't care based on scarcity. I've since upgraded my Jack all the way to a 5 ...
and just recently landed this one that should be a significant upgrade for Arnie (already off to PSA now) ...
A total of 20 graded currently, but I haven't been able to find out any info on how these were produced or distributed. I've seen via a magazine suggested, and others are guessing passed out at perhaps a tournament or other golf event. The backs have nice bios, but no manufacturer or copyright info, so the only things I have to go on are the reference in the Smedley/Berdock golf guides ...
or perhaps someone can dig up something I haven't been able to find by the artist's name on the fronts 'J McQueen'. This set is a mystery I would love to solve.

The Orel Hershiser....golf card.
Rypien has one in the Pinnacle FB set from that year too
When it rains it pours, after a few years of searching to find the first, it only took a few months for the next one to show up. I was able to snag another 74 Little Caesars calendar, so now I won't feel bad about cutting one, and added a complete 73 to go with my Trevino single ...
The 73 also features Wilt, Bench, and Namath
The hunt continues for a 74 non-color & 75 to wrap up the run.

Looks like they spelled Johnny Bench "Johnnie". On all his cards it's Johnny.

Ron, I don't know if you found your Empreza Hagen among your mountain of golf cards. I am pretty sure you got that one from me when I sold off my collection. It was PSA graded, it is still the only one I have ever come across.
Dave Johnson- Big Red Country-Nebraska Collector of Vintage Golf cards! Let me know what you might have.
Also, I went and dug this one up from what now seems forever ago....when I still was building and had a monumental golf collection before selling it off.
Most of the photos are long since gone, but it is still a good read to see some of the early stories of PSA golf card grading.
Finally tracked down one of these Max Schmeling (misspelled Schmelling on all the Exhibits I've seen) golf Exhibits ...
I believe based on the back (postcard w/coupon), this is a 1929-1930 Exhibit issue. Perhaps @AGBCWriter can confirm. Now I'll have to see if I can locate or if one even exists of the 1931-1932 Premiums Ad back. @blurryface Does yours have the same back?

i did not know you were looking for "cheddar bob". i have a couple i coulda sent ya, albeit not in that condition. thing looks amazing. a lot of them have a hole punched thru them.
I wasn't looking for a cheddar bob until perusing my Exhibits book late the other night and decided to jump on eBay. Auction was ending soon and went fairly cheap. I think I'm down to Sarazen and Babe as far as athlete Exhibits go for the wantlist, though I'm not sure I'll want to pay the price if I see either.

It's in the 32 Champions set, the famous Olympic image of her ready the throw the javelin that's been used on dozens of cards since. Since it's not technically golf related, I'm not sure if Jim would have been interested.

oh, he's got just about every babe card in there. the m&ms, kodak, coke cards that share the same image. even the old school german cards...

Also, PM me your address. I've got something on the way that should fill a set need for ya, if you know when to hold 'em.
JT has been in the news as of late, and he wasn't exactly garnering the type of attention he would've liked
without getting into all the details (google if you're unaware) and taking everything into consideration (what happened......how it happened......where it happened.......and what type of dude i perceive him to be based on years of empirical evidence), my brief thoughts are.............my goodness is anyone allowed to make a mistake anymore without it seeming like a public lynching is in the offing
i call this type of card a Halley's Comet.............comes around about once every 75 years

Between you and Dan, I've got some bag tags to chase. Pretty awesome to land the Schmidt!
Aaaaaand, just realized I missed the opportunity to say "That's cool as Schmidt!" Shame on me.
exactly, so take your schmidt and get!
btw: yes. both have that same back...
