Hello,

and Welcome.  

Thank you for stopping by.

Up for your consideration is one of the rarest Arnold Palmer cards that exist in the trading card hobby today.  

The 1979 Arnold Palmer Hall of Famer #NNO.  

Graded a wonderful 5 Excellent by BVG (Beckett.)

With a beautiful, vibrant front of the card and only minor visible imperfections in the back of the card, this is a fine representation of an incredibly hard to find sports card.  (Seems to be undervalued in it's grading.)

This extraordinarily rare card has been illustrated with the artwork of Jim McQueen; a talented and well respected sports artist and friend of Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer since the late 1960's. 

It is not often that a sportscard issued in the past 50 years can have an unknown origin and raise questions that were previously reserved for pre-war cards. 

Very little is known about these cards and how they were distributed. It is known that they are very scarce and exist in small numbers. 

It is generally accepted that these cards first appeared in 1979. 

To date only two subjects have been discovered, Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer and they are both unnumbered.

The cards are a little different from normal sportscards as they are slightly more narrow and have rounded corners. 

The card measures approximately 2 1/4" by 3 1/2". 

While there is little information about this card the 1995 Smedley Berdock Price Guide to Golf Cards lists these cards under the Anonymous section designated for cards of unknown origin.  That book was published over 25 years ago.

 

Here is alittle information on just how rare this card is.

PSA: There have been just 19 of these Arnold Palmer cards that have been graded by PSA.

 

BGS: There are just 7 of these Arnold Palmer cards that have been graded by BGS.  This is the third highest graded behind 1 9.0, and 2 7.0's.  

 

SGC: (0) has no reported grades for this card.  

 

Thus, there are only 18 graded examples of this Arnold Palmer

 card in existence.  A true rarity in the Sports Card hobby.

 

In comparison:

1) The 1965 Bancroft Tiddlers Arnold Palmer has over 100 graded examples from PSA and 35 graded from BGS.

 

This card is truly the Rarest of the Rare.  A Holy Grail piece for collectors.  

THE T206 HONUS WAGNER OF GOLF CARDS.

 

There has only been two of these cards listed (graded or raw) on Ebay or anywhere else for the over the past decade.  Have you seen another?  

 

What do you think this card is worth today? 

 

Don't miss out on a rare opportunity to add this to your collection as it is a must for the Arnold Palmer or golf card collector. 

 

When will you see another one?  

 

This Arnold Palmer card is a wonderfully rare investment piece for both Palmer and Golf Card collectors alike.
