Pre-War Cards

While golf had been in existence for several centuries before the 19th century, it really was just starting to become popular in the late 1800s and early 1900s. And unlike baseball, the sport had a large worldwide appeal with several countries represented by stars in the sport. Because of that, there are many international issues, particularly from the UK.

Golf cards are not absolutely abundant in the pre-war era but it was featured in numerous sets. As is the case with some others outside of the big four American sports, golf cards are most abundantly found in international tobacco sets produced in the 1920s and 1930s.
