One of the earliest golf cards of any significance. Jones was one of a handful of golfers in the multi-sport tobacco set, which also featured cards of “motor cars” and a subset of “Pirates and Highwaymen”. From 1923 through 1930, Jones won 13 of 21 major championships he entered. Jones was revered as a champion and a gentleman. It is professionally graded by Beckett a BGS 8 NM-MT. Sub grades are as follows: Centering 9.5, Corners 7.5, Edges 8.5, and Surface 8. Exhibits impeccable centering. The only “8” graded by Beckett. The next highest graded Jones rookie is a BGS 6 EX-MT. A true condition rarity. A fantastic high-grade investment.
