Vintagegolfcards - The Number One Finest Set of All Time

About this set: Wthout question, this vintage golf card set is one of the hobby's most coveted and highly sought after. The set was issued in London, England in 1927 by the Imperical Tobacco Company under its W.A. & A.C. Churchman brand. Widely accepted as the first large card variety set which exclusively featured real photos of famous golfers of the era. This set is known as the Famous Golfers (Series of 12) and is the precursor of the equally and exceptionally rare 1928 12 card Churchman issue referred to as Famous Golfers (2nd in a Series of 12). This set is comprised of a virtual Who's Who list of professional golfers shown practicing their trade in what is widely described as The Golden Age of Sports - the 1920's. The set's key card is the # 7 full-length action shot of Bobby Jones, the so-called Babe Ruth of golf. The Jones example in this set, as well the specimens of Hall of Famer's Walter Hagen and Harry Vardon are all encapsulated as PSA 8's! By comparison, in this condition, the Bobby Jones card is significantly rarer than either Jones card of the much publicized 1933 Sport Kings and 1932 U.S. Caramel sets subsequently issued in the United States. All twelve cards are presently represented in this collection, ten are amazingly graded PSA 8 with the other two being PSA 7, all with no qualifiers! One of the most desirable golf card collections ever assembled!
