The 1900 Cope's Golfers set is the preeminent early golf card set. The rare tobacco card set is often compared to baseball card collecting's T206 set from 1909-1911, which famously features the iconic Honus Wagner card. But only the most advanced collectors realize that the 1900 Cope's Golfers set is exceedingly more rare than the T206 set. In total, PSA has graded over 250,000 T206 cards, but only 1,869 total cards in the 1900 Cope's Golfers set. The mysteriously short printed Honus Wagner baseball card has 36 examples graded by PSA, each of which is worth over $1 million. The most sought after Cope's Golfers card is that of Old Tom Morris, which has seen a similar 53 total copies grades, but is currently worth a tiny fraction of its baseball counterpart. 

Offered here is the coveted 1900 Cope Bros. & Co. Cope's Golfers of Old Tom Morris. Even better, this is the rare "Narrow Cut" version. Some cards were originally narrowed by the manufacturer in order to fit inside certain narrow packs of cigarettes during the turn of the century. This Rookie Card of Old Tom Morris is one of only 8 total "Narrow Cut" Tom Morris 1900 Copes cards that PSA has ever graded. This one is graded PSA 3, which is a Pop 2 with only 2 examples ever graded higher.

If collectors ever turn their attention to vintage golf cards, expect rare low pop cards like this to dramatically increase in value.
