1926 Sports Company of America question...

[Golf History]

Are there any examples that have been graded? If so are they all Authentic or any numeric grades assigned.

I guess I am asking if there is anything definitive linking the sheets to advertising or an actual blank back print sheet that never completed the printing process?

I have seen approximately 3-5 blank backed sheets in 15 yrs of looking. There was one in the last Legendary Auctions auction. It got a little bit overlooked and went for around 2k....I would bet a few sheets have been cut up though I don't know of any specifically.

Here are a couple of sheet cut (ad backs '26). If not they are poorly trimmed.

Like Jeffs Ive also had about 1/2 dozen chopped cards with the bio backs. I say chopped because most were not cut well making me think they were cut along time ago. They were all from the same seller on eBay quite a few years ago.
I havent paid attention to the uncut sheets Ive seen, dont know if they were all blank backed or if some had printing.

Here is the only handcut bio back I have now...
