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 2,075 total cards in the 1900 Cope's Golfers set - less than 1% the number of T206 cards. 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 cards are those of Young & Old Tom Morris, which have seen a similar 64 and 58 copies graded, respectively, but are currently worth a tiny fraction of its baseball counterpart. 

Offered here is the rookie card of early golf great Allan Robertson. This is the 3rd most important card in the 1900 Cope's Golfers set. Only 49 examples exist in the PSA population report. PSA 8.
