Any Good Golf Card Picks ups Lately?

[Aberlanche]

Hey guys - I haven't been on the thread in quite awhile so I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the summer. I picked up a near-set of 1900 Copes Golfers at the show in the UK back in April and just got the grades back. Quite a few PSA 2s with back damage but several in the 4-6 range and one 7 and one 8. For some reason, PSA didn't grade the narrow-cut cards though? Figured I would post them here to see if anyone is interested before I list them on Ebay. If your are, shoot me an e-mail and we can work something out. Thanks.

Dave,

I have an Old Tom Narrow Cut that was graded by PSA.
On the label its says PSA 3 MC and then says "Narrow Cut"

I have no idea why they gave it the MC qualifier - as the Narrow Cut is a legitimate cut. The people at PSA that I spoke with didn't have an answer either.

But - they should grade those cards for you -
You probably have to shoot an email to them explaining the situation, and I would mention my Old Tom as well since it is in the pop report.

Regards,
Joe

Yes, the narrow cut came that way straight from the manufacturer. For one of the cigarette packs they had to "cut down" the size of the cards to make them fit.

I recently picked up this card. It is German I believe and Richs Coffee. I can't find my golf card book for non tobacco cards, so if any of you could add a little light to me on this one I would appreciate it. I think the golfer on the card might even be Hogan, but I am mainly trying to determine the year of manufacture.

[Aberlanche]

Thanks guys - I was surprised they didn't grade them after I saw the Morris on the population report. They're definitely 'standard' size for the narrow version. Will probably resubmit along with the other 'mechanical errors' I've accumulated over the past few months...

Here are some of my latest pickups......

1) Zweifel card game. I don't even know what this is. It looks cool, so I bought it.

2) Marsuma Ted Ray! - - PSA 5. looks like a 6 to me.

3) 1930 Drapkin Bobby Jones - - the grand slam year. Love this card.

4) 2002 UD Phil Mickelson - PSA 9. Sweet card. I like the positioning of Phil's auto better than most of the examples I have seen (better than the 10s I have seen).

5) 1971 Barrett Jack Nicklaus - this card is a 10 by condition. Maybe an 8 because of the centering? Don't know. Its basically perfect if not for the centering.

[Golfcollector]

That Ed Ray is the nicest PSA 5 I have ever seen.

If I get around to it, I will post a bunch of scans tomorrow of recent pick ups.

Anyone have a clue for me on the Rich's Coffee Card year of make?

Thanks!

Dave

As Promised, here are some scans (sorry there are a lot of them)

First, The Ogdens Tabs, Man I have I been on a buying spree! These are the nicest of the bunch overall



More Ogdens Tabs! These are a bit rougher, this Morris is not near as nice. The First card in the scan is an F Series T.T. Gray. The F series cards are tough!



How about more Ogdens! These are 1901 Tabs from the I base and then a number of cards from the numbered series.



Some odds and ends, one more decent Ogdens tabs. The Churchman Large and the Marsuma Travis I am hoping will upgrade some PSA sets



Here are some graded Ogdens. The Vardon is from the tough F series. I was very happy to pick that one up!



How about Some Willards Chocolates! Of course there is also a nice Jones rookie as well as a Spalding Hagen. It is rough but it is the stat back version and I already own a very high grade ad back version, so was glad to find a copy. It is one tough card!



How about some newer stuff! These are from 1981 True Value Hardware. There are 13 golfers, (I did not scan the Babe Zaharias as this is already a long enough post.) I like the artwork and the backs have a continuation of the write up on the front.





Finally picked up the Sportkings golfers. There are 6 so far from the newer releases, Jack Nicklaus and Henry Cotton will be in the new Series D coming out soon. I love the look of these cards.
