Ogdens Old Tom pickup!

I felt this was worthy of a thread here - we can always use them on the golf side!

I finally finished my 1901 Ogdens Guinea Gold I-base set with this pickup. I'd seen a few of the Old Tom cards in the past few years, but was waiting for a nice one. I was really excited about this!

Scott -

That is an awesome awesome way to finish up the set.

What a beautiful Old Tom!

I am green with envy.... and I would love to see the rest of the set.
If you can, please share scans of the rest.


Congrats!

Thanks for the kind words, Joe. I was happy to get this card finally!

I have not scanned all of the cards in the set, but here is one of the Vardon / Braid cards...



The rest of my set is PSA graded. I am debating whether to see if I can cross the Old Tom to a PSA 7, but I really like it in the SGC holder. So I guess I won't be able to have a completed set on the PSA registry; oh well! But if I got a PSA 7 on Tom, it'd give me the #1 all time PSA set. Decisions, decisions....

Here is the link to my PSA registry set, if anyone is interested...

Scott... great set. Thanks for posting the link.


Seeing that it is the only card missing from your registry....
I would look to cross it over to PSA.

Thanks Joe. I will keep it in the SGC holder for now, but may swap it over to PSA at some point if I'm sending other things to them. It would be neat to have the #1 all-time set of something, since that's a claim I can't make on anything right now!
