Good deal...I am in Lincoln also. And for what it's worth I grew up on an acreage North of Lincoln on hwy 77 right at Raymond Road.

Welcome to the board.

Dave has been very cordial and very helpful with my vintage golf collecting.

I wish I can return the favor here but unfortunately I cannot. Hopefully someone else can.

Good luck with the search Dave.

Regards,
Joe

What is your interest in these? Are you collecting the set? Generally the Buy/Sell/Trade threads are where "wants" go....I do have a few for sale but am more interested in what your focus is? I recently picked up the Ruth with the 1927 copyright and am very interested in any others that might be found that way. Good luck in your hunt.....

Hey Dave,

I have seen the most of Hagen. I have also seen Diegel, Sarazen and Sweetser. Here is a full list of all the golfers Dave may be looking for:

Leo Diegel
Walter Hagen
Willie Macfarlane
Francis Ouimet
Gene Sarazen
Jesse Sweetser
George Von Elm
Cyril Walker

You might want to shoot an email to Lew(theoldjudge). I think BMW has a really high grade Hagen. If anyone has a Von Elm for sale, would be interested(shameless plug). Good luck in your search.

Thanks for the "great guy" comment and also thanks for the golf checklist.

I am trying to find a Sarazen, most specifically. I have a lead to purchase the remaining 7 cards, but the Sarazen is elusive. There was a lesser condition one on ebay a few months back, but I am still kicking myself for not getting it.

I assume you saw these golf Spaldings:

They've been on ebay at teat price for at least a year.

Here are my Spaldings including Sarazen (sorry, they're not for sale):

Marcus, very cool. I think you have even bought some golf stuff from me on ebay..at least if your handle is your namesake here.

I saw the link to the auction you mention, mainly looking for the Sarazen, but thanks for the heads up.
