Scorecard Variations

Scorecard Variations

Many collectors of golf scorecards have different criteria for what goes into their collection.  I have run into collectors who:
- Only collect scorecards from courses they have played
- Only collect one scorecard from each course
- Only collect one scorecard from each country
- Only collect one scorecard from each state
- Only collect only scorecards that are a combination of scorecard/post card
- Only collect unused scorecards
- Only collect the newest version

Then of course there are those who collect everything that is a different version from what already exists in their collection.  Now the question is "What constitutes a different version?"  Here are some things that collector may want to consider.

• Round vs. square corners
• Copyright and/or print date
• Slope and/or course rating change
• Back and front nines being reversed
• Font size changes
• Significant colors changes or variations
• Change in name of the  professional, superintendent, manager, or other course administrators
• Different advertisements
• Name change i.e.; Country Club to Golf Club, Golf Club to Golf Course, etc.
• Different photo on or in the scorecard
• Typographical errors
• Change in the dimensions of the card
• Change in the area code or zip code
• Revision to the local rules printed on the scorecard
• Paper texture i.e., thickness
• Paper texture i.e.,  glossy vs. non-glossy
• Additional tees and/or different names for their tees
• Different fold sequence
• Single fold to bi-fold
• Orientation i.e.; horizontal vs. vertical
• Slot to hold pencil vs. no slot for pencil
 

Are there any other considerations?  Is the above an "over-kill"?  Your comments are welcome.
