Offered here is a scarce 1902 F&J Smith card of the great James Braid. This tobacco card was found in a multi-sport series of cards that were inserted into packs of F&J Smith's Straight Cut Cigarettes in the the UK in 1902. This rare card was issued in the early part of James Braid's career - when he'd only won 1 of his eventual 5 Open Championship titles. The entire PSA population of known blue back 1902 F&J Smith James Braid cards is only 7. If this was a baseball card of this rarity of a player of equal importance, this card would be worth well north of $100,000.
