Impressive Collection of
1926 Imperial Tobacco Golf Cards
Presented
here is an impressive collection 212 golf cards from the 1926 Imperial Tobacco
Company "How it Happened' Set. These cards were issued over 80 years ago by
Imperial tobacco as a 126 card set with 7 cards, each representing a different
stroke outcome for 18 fictional holes. The cards show comic renditions and have
2 different back designs for each of the 126 cards. It is not known whether any
complete sets have been assembled for this difficult to complete set. Offered in
this lot are 212 cards including duplicates. 86 of the 126 possible fronts are
here, which represents 2/3 of a set. There are also 126 duplicates. The cards
range from poor to excellent condition, averaging good to very good.
