WTB: Cope's Golfer "An Enthusiast"
 

Looking for a low grade 2-4 version of "An Enthusiast" from the 1900 Cope's Golfers set.

I have about 10 or so duplicates in the set..... I will check this weekend to see if one of the duplicates is the card you are looking for.

Sounds good, thanks!

don't have the card you are looking for
 

my dupes in the set are 12, 18, 27, 37, 42, and 50.

I don't have a dupe of the card you are looking for.

Do you have their grades and an asking price? Thanks for taking the time to look through your collection.

I scanned the front and backs of the cards and they are shown below.

I don't really have price in mind..... do you have anything to trade? any Old Tom?

This is my first venture into Cope's. I am unsure on the scarcities and such so I don't want to lowball you on any cards. I have seen "Lost Ball" go in the range of 30-40 in similar condition both graded and ungraded $37.50. The others I'm pretty unfamiliar with at this point, but any insight or useful links would be much appreciated.

Its been a while since I have tracked the prices on these.

The Robertson and the Laidlay would be the most expensive of the bunch I am sure.

Maybe Dave - or someone else here could give us an opinion on fair value.

Alrighty, sounds fair. Only Lost Ball card I can find currently http://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-Cop...#ht_500wt_1202

Hi guys,

Joe - those are some great looking cards for the grades!! As a comparison, I sold some very similar PSA 2's on eBay earlier this year (yours might be even a bit nicer), and they went in the $35-$40 range if I remember. Mine just had a bit of tape on the backs, knocking the grade down. Sample of one attached.

If I had to put estimates, I would say the common 2's would be $40-ish, the 4 might be $100-125? (I bought a Ball in a PSA 4 earlier this year for about $115.) And if you're going to sell the Robertson, let me know, since that looks nicer than the one in my set!

I agree with those prices, the Robertson is a toughie, and a world golf hall of fame member, his only card. I should go for a bit more.

Dave -

where would you ballpark($) the Robertson card at?

Robertsons typically sell in a close proximity to the values of the Morris Sr and Jr (at least when I have owned and sold some) So....the Robertson 2 - based on eye appeal etc, (it looks darn nice for a 2) I think is $125-150 ish on the high end, but at least $100

I'd be interested in the Robertson in the future, but at this moment am just putting my foot in the water with Cope's. Looking for a set to collect with my dad (I'll buy him this first card, and then we will get each other cards on future holiday's, birthdays, etc.).

Lost Ball for $40.00?

$40 for the 'Lost Ball' sounds good.
Please add $5 for shipping/insurance.

You can paypal the money to me at joe@internetville.com


If anyone else is interested -
The three other commons are $40 each
The Laidlay is $125
The Robertson is $200

With any purchase add $5 for shipping and insurance.

Scott gets first dibs on the Robertson - because he asked for a shot at it.
All other cards are first-come first-served.

If Scott passes on the Robertson it will be first-come first served
(if you want it post here and you will be put next in line).

Thanks,
Joe

Payment sent. I'll let you know when I get it, thanks! Also, could it be shipped relatively quickly? Hoping to give it X-mas day to my pops :)

I see the payment -
I will ship it out tomorrow and will PM tracking info to you.

Awesome. Thanks for the easy and flexible transaction Joe. Also appreciate the input from others as well. Holiday shopping is just about finished now :D

the 'lost ball' card sold / shipped.


if anyone wants any of the other cards - just let me know.

Card arrived. Expertly shipped, super quick, and most importantly LOVE the card! It's one thing seeing it in a scan, but holding it and looking at it in my hand makes me smile :). Thanks a ton Joe!
