Harry Vardon PSA 8  1928 J. Millhoff & Co.

    J. Millhoff and Company issued a very popular series of 27 Famous Golfers in 1928. Along with the 1927 Churchman issue, this is currently an extremely popular and collected set. The cards were printed on a high gloss enamalized surface, which makes them subject to scratching.

This series is plagued by inconsistent factory cuts and poor centering, especially on the reverse of cards. These cards feature most of the big names of the period including Bobby Jones, Walter Hagen, Harry Vardon.

This auction features one of the keys to the set - Harry Vardon in amazing PSA 8 NM-MT condition. One of seven PSA 8's in existence with only 2 PSA 9's grading higher. Most of these examples are stashed away on the PSA set registry in private collections. This is a rare opportunity to pick up a high grade Vardon, one that doesn't come around very often.
